The term for carved works of sculpture is "relief sculpture" when the figures are raised from a flat background, or simply "sculpture" when referring to three-dimensional carved works in various forms. Carvings can be made from materials like stone, wood, or ivory, and they can be full-round (freestanding) or in relief.
The material comes first because it is not a person who made it. The artist is only a person that uses the material for art.
A three-dimensional sculpture is also called a "relief" when it is attached to a background surface, or simply a "sculpture" when it stands freely. Sculptures can be made from various materials such as stone, metal, wood, or clay, and they can represent realistic forms or abstract designs. Unlike two-dimensional art, three-dimensional sculptures occupy physical space and can be viewed from multiple angles.
Alberto Giacometti's most famous sculpture is "Walking Man," created in 1960. This iconic bronze figure embodies themes of existentialism and the human condition, characterized by its elongated form and sense of isolation. The sculpture reflects Giacometti's exploration of the human experience, conveying a powerful sense of movement and introspection. Its minimalist style and emotional depth have made it a significant work in modern art.
