About this ebook
Abstract Forms explores the revolutionary shift in art history when sculptors moved away from traditional forms, embracing abstract art to redefine space, shape, and perception. It investigates how avant-garde movements paved the way for minimalist and experimental designs. The book highlights the deconstruction of form, moving from imitation to invention, and the innovative use of industrial materials like steel and plastic, where the materials themselves became part of the artistic message. This comprehensive analysis delves into how abstract sculptures engage with and transform their environment, creating a dynamic experience for viewers.
The book progresses through key concepts of abstraction and non-representation, structured around form, material innovation, and spatial engagement. Case studies feature artists like Constantin Brancusi and Barbara Hepworth, illustrating these concepts. By focusing on the interplay between form, material, and space, Abstract Forms offers a unique and holistic understanding of this influential art form.
