The art of stone-cutting plastic

[Acland]

Where images naturalistic, slightly betrays bad taste. Generally in the works of this kind is clearly focused on the gap between technical skill and manner. Just yesterday, looked on the Internet Meissen figurines of the XVIII century, in which a perfect balance between two poles - a generalization and detail for a sufficiently small size. Looking at the same expertly passed the surface of skin cut from a stone frog, forget about the image and start thinking about the technological difficulties which overcame the master to make as close to reality. And that leads from the sphere of art into the sphere of technology. Moreover, there are many examples in the book series "The stones of the Urals", published in Sverdlovsk in the early 1980's.

And I started with the theme that the technical performance is not a sign of mastery and of bad taste most of the craft of stone. The aim was to see that in my opinion already has a very different level. Like-nenravitsya is subjective, to me and from what I showed not everyone likes it, but from the fact that Vlasta showed nothing. But it is interesting to look at the dynamics of development, the search for styles by each master to assess the possible Prospects.
