Detailed Description

New Sculpture is a term that has been used to describe various movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The most common use of the term is to describe the work of British sculptors such as Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, and Jacob Epstein. The New Sculpture movement was a reaction against the traditional, academic style of sculpture that was prevalent in the 19th century. New Sculpture artists sought to create works that were more expressive and naturalistic. One of the most famous works of New Sculpture is Henry Moore’s “Reclining Figure” (1951). This massive bronze sculpture depicts a human figure in a relaxed, reclining position. The work is highly abstracted, and Moore sought to capture the essence of the human form rather than create a realistic likeness. Other notable New Sculpture artists include Barbara Hepworth, whose work often featured organic, curved forms; and Jacob Epstein, whose “Rock Drill” (1913) is a seminal work of the movement. Today, the term New Sculpture is used to describe a wide range of contemporary sculpture, from the highly abstract to the representational. While the style has evolved over the past century, the spirit of experimentation and innovation that characterized the original New Sculpture movement remains alive and well in the 21st century.
