The artwork in the entrance way of the Nordstrom in Paramus, New Jersey, is by artist Robert Rauschenberg. Known for his innovative approach to mixed media and assemblage, Rauschenberg's work often blends elements of painting and sculpture. His contributions to contemporary art have made him a significant figure in the art world.
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.

Myron
The Discus Thrower, or Discobolus, is a famous ancient Greek sculpture created by the sculptor Myron around 450 BCE. It was made to celebrate the athleticism and idealized human form of athletes in ancient Greece, reflecting the cultural importance of physical fitness and competition. The sculpture captures the dynamic motion and intensity of the discus throw, embodying the values of harmony, balance, and beauty in art and sports. It also served as an inspiration for future generations, influencing the representation of athleticism in Western art.

The famous statue known as "Discobolus," representing a discus thrower, is traditionally associated with marble, though it was originally created in bronze by the sculptor Myron in ancient Greece. Many Roman copies of the statue were made in marble, which is why it is often depicted in that material today. The original bronze version has not survived, but the marble replicas have contributed to its enduring legacy in art history.
