This groundbreaking volume examines key sculptural works from 13th-century Europe to the global present, revealing new insights into the strategies artists deploy to blur the distinction between art and life. Sculpture, which has historically taken the human figure as its subject, is presented here in myriad manifestations created by artists ranging from Donatello and Degas to Picasso, Kiki Smith, and Jeff Koons. Featuring works created in traditional media such as wood and marble as well as the unexpected such as wax, metal, and blood, Like Life presents sculpture both conventional and shocking, including effigies, dolls, mannequins, automata, waxworks, and anatomical models. Containing texts by art and cultural historians as well as interviews with contemporary artists, this is a provocative exploration of three-dimensional representations of the human body. 0aFigure sculpturevExhibitions.916513 0aHuman figure in artvExhibitions.916514 0aPolychromyvExhibitions.916515 7aExhibition catalogs.2lcgft0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf201402609891263212aSyson, Luke.tPolychrome and its discontents.91651612aWagstaff, Sheena.tEmbodied histories.91651712aBowyer, Emerson.tPresumption of white.91651812aKumar, Brinda.tLikeness.91651912aKher, Bharti,d1969-tSensuality of impermanence.9165202 aMetropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.),eissuing body,ehost institution.915790  aNNFrCIPd2018-01-11ffi85fa7c86-9191-532b-b9c1-f311e00c1c51sfa2afac8-5094-453f-bcd3-79389c834c22c6102d6102
