The New Sculpture

The New Sculpture was an art movement from the late 19th and early 20th centuries that emphasized realism, naturalism, and dynamic, expressive figures. Unlike earlier sculptures that were more formal and static, New Sculpture artists aimed to capture movement, emotion, and intricate details, making their works more lively and engaging. They used better anatomy and real-life poses to reflect human experience more accurately. This approach marked a shift toward modernity in sculpture, influencing how artists depicted the human form in a more authentic and expressive way.
