sculptor

Early Renaissance sculptors went to school on works like this, learning from them how to tell a complex story on a flat surface within a circumscribed area.

Prolific sculptor Frederick William Sievers shows a seated Maury enthroned like Zeus before a globe held aloft by swarming figures representing the forces of air and water.

Reviewing that show, our critic said that it “reveals the full scope of an enormously talented and prolific artist who was much more than a sculptor of sinuous, crocheted-wire abstractions.”

Athens’s wealth enabled a deeper division of labor and the rise of professions like philosopher, historian, sculptor, architect, playwright and actor.

Calder Gardens, which opened in Philadelphia on Sept. 21, celebrates the work of America’s greatest sculptor, Alexander Calder.
