George Segal (American sculptor)

George Segal was an American sculptor renowned for creating life-sized figures using plaster bandages to produce realistic, three-dimensional scenes. His works often depict everyday people and moments, capturing the spontaneity and rawness of real life. By positioning these figures in environments like streets, homes, or public spaces, Segal blurs the line between art and reality, encouraging viewers to reflect on ordinary life and social themes. His innovative approach and focus on capturing human presence have greatly influenced contemporary sculpture, making his work both accessible and thought-provoking.
