Masters of American Sculpture
by Donald Martin Reynolds
Commemorating the one hundredth anniversary of the National Sculpture Society, this important history traces America's rich heritage of figurative sculpture from the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 to the present. It explores the full range of the subject, including massive works such as Mount Rushmore as well as Augustus Saint-Gaudens's exquisite twenty-dollar gold piece. Illustrated with more than 275 outstanding examples of American figurative sculpture of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Masters of American Sculpture begins with an analysis of the influence of Beaux-Arts tradition on the creation of the great public monuments of the United States. With this background, the book moves on to survey chronologically such important categories of sculpture as equestrian monuments, tributes to war heroes, and portraits. In his wide-ranging text, the author, Donald Martin Reynolds, provides a comprehensive overview of the subject. He includes a section on medallic art, a category usually neglected in sculpture surveys, and also devotes a chapter to American Indians, both as widely favored subjects for sculpture and as sculptors themselves. Not neglecting genre, the author deals extensively with the large group of sculptors who concentrate on works portraying everyday people doing everyday things. Finally he surveys the figurative tradition in the twentieth century and speculates on future trends in sculpture. The book is lavishly illustrated with 65 color and 225 black and white images and includes famous public monuments as well as lesser known works by such sculptors as Hiram Powers, John Quincy Adams Ward, Daniel Chester French, Karl Bitter, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, PaulManship, Anna Hyatt Huntington, Richard McDermott Miller, Walker Hancock, and Marcel Jovine. This is a splendid gift book for anyone interested in sculpture, architecture, and American history.

The Encyclopedia of Sculpting Techniques
by John Plowman
Cast and carve, weld and mold, model and rivet: whichever method you choose, sculpting is intense and rewarding. From assemblage to brazing, more than 30 techniques unfold in these beautifully illustrated pages. The pleasure begins with a chart of possible materials: the large menu of imaginative options includes clay, plaster, wood, stone, and papier mâché, as well as more unusual suggestions like aerated concrete block, rubber, and found objects. Create an armature for producing a life figure. Form a bird from such surprising items as plastic coat hangers, felt-tip pen caps, and a threaded steel rod. Form a steel fish by melting metal with an acetylene torch and welding pieces together. Finish off by coloring; make repairs when something goes wrong as you work; and find inspiration in photos of magnificent pieces; all arranged by theme. You'll build a solid foundation for your sculpture-making skills!
Artists in Glass
by Dan Klein
Giacometti
by
One of modern art's true originals, Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) spent a lifetime refining his characteristic sculptures of strange, rail-thin figures, which are among the most recognized art of the 20th Century. In this monumental book, the reader is provided with the most detailed profile of Giacometti yet published. It includes a wealth of illustrations, texts, conversations, diary entries, letters, interviews and quotes, and the result is a many-layered picture of Giacometti both as a person, and as an artist. His life is portrayed through his own statements, and in reports by those who knew him -- including family members, pupils and students, and artist-friends such as Man Ray, Picasso, Breton, Hans Arp and Salvador Dali, as well as collectors and patrons such as Peggy Guggenheim. Giacometti's legacy is followed from his earliest days to his latest work, and the book offers an invaluable resource for all serious students of modern art.
