I am amazed to see the old Sculpture in the museums. The skill and talent that people had back in the days is truly amazing.
Yes, the unique way that Sculpture deals with three dimensions brings the artwork to life.
They can almost look so real these days with the modern sculptures.
Sculpture
Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or molded or cast
switches which the spectator can trigger and cause the artwork to respond. Typical is "Emerald Aura" a temporary laser sculpture in Memphis Tennessee that used Infrared cameras and surveillance software to track pedestrians and project the processed computer generated images back onto the people in real time. This installation is typical of Corson’s work in the way that it combine artistic expression with an implied statement about our culture.
Some of Corson's works interact not with people, but with the environment. Examples include "Nepenthes", whimsical fiberglass sculptures
