Drawing on the knowledge of a lifetime of study, and the understanding of one who himself participated in the creative adventure of modern art, the late Sir Herbert Read traces the development of modern sculpture from Rodin to the present day and brings order into the apparently chaotic proliferation of styles and techniques during this period.

Covers all movements within the sculptural art arena, explaining the concepts and workings behind movements like Constructionist and Futurist to the more modern contempory artists
