This title offers an illuminating and invigorating exploration of the history of sculpture - from classical Greece to the present day. Analyzing the history of sculpture from an unusual angle, Margaret Sheffield tackles the character and function of 'edge' in sculptural line, from classical Greece to the present day. She identifies three kinds of sculptural edge; the 'containing' edge, as found in Classical sculpture; the 'expansive' edge found in the Baroque; and, the 'in flux' edge, as seen in contemporary sculpture. Written in a stimulating and edifying style, "The Expressive Edge" provides readers with a refreshingly new interpretation of the history of sculpture right up the present day.
