Book excerpt: "In Sculpture since 1945, Edward Lucie-Smith classifies the full range of movements and provides an explanation of their development and how they are related to one another. He begins by reflecting on the work of the early modernists - Auguste Rodin, Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp and Jacob Epstein - and proceeds to look at the succeeding influences and revolutions in sculpture from the Constructivist and neo-classical works of the immediate post-war years to the Minimalism, Pop, Conceptual and Land Art of the sixties and seventies and the return to figurative imagery of the 1980's. Many of the new sculptors - Henry Moore, Alberto Giacometti, Marino Marini, David Smith - are dealt with at length, and altogether some 200 artists are discussed."--BOOK JACKET.
