This comprehensive work examines the evolution of sculpture from its ancient roots through various cultural and historical contexts, focusing particularly on how these factors have influenced artistic expression throughout the ages. The author asserts the necessity of understanding sculpture within the framework of social and political history, offering insights into the connections between art and national identity. At the start of the book, Short introduces his purpose in detailing the history of sculpture, emphasizing that art is a reflection of the human experience and cannot be viewed in isolation. He expresses the belief that sculpture, though sometimes perceived as a neglected art form, is inherently alive and deeply connected to both the artist's intentions and the societal context in which it was created. The opening chapters outline the progression of Greek sculpture, noting the transition from rudimentary early forms to the more sophisticated and expressive styles that emerged during the Golden Age of Greece, establishing a foundation for understanding the artistry that followed in later periods.
