To start off the author begins by sculpting heads in blocks of soap. There are examples provided of heads sculpted by Rodin, Michelangelo, the Greeks and Egyptians, as well as modern examples such as sculpture by Amy Small. We then move on to the torso, taking into account action with sketches and photographs as reference.
Tools and materials are covered in detail.
Modeling in plasteline and clay, and metal putty, liquid 'cold' metal, or building up layers of solder over an armature (as shown on pg.87). The book also covers welding metals with an acetylene torch, and brazing.
Casting; such as lost-wax and using rubber molds and plaster casting, including waste mold, and casting in stone (cement with stone particles).
The back pages also cover carving; as mentioned at the beginning, soap sculpture is joined by soapstone and limestone, moving up the harness scale to marble before beginning a new chapter on wood carving in bas, and haut-relief.
Kinetic works such as mobiles in cardboard, plywood and even heavy metals are briefly covers in the final pages in 'The New and the Daring', covering the use of synthetics, plastics, Plexiglas, and the idea of self-destructive sculptures, and empaquetage - wrapping buildings or even areas of coastline in plastic sheeting (see: Robert Hughes' The Shock of the New, which covers this matter in slightly more detail).
All in all, I do recommend this as a very good book on the subject, especially if you appreciate the art forms of the 50s and 60s. ( )
