RE: Art Talk: Emotion In Bronze

Hi Sara!

What's the difference between sculpture and statues?

I love statues especially the statues of the saints. I often times ask for there intercession. I read about their lives and try to imitate their heroic acts, their strength in character and their virtues.

Hi @ronel. Thanks for your question. The biggest difference between statues and sculpture are that statues are of living things such as people or animals or both and are made to be life like.
Sculptures can be of anything, people and animals and abstract and most certainly do not need to be made to be life like, as we see in Henry Moore's King and Queen.

Oh I see. Thanks for differentiating sculptures and statues.
I guess sculptures are much more expensive than statues?
There are also gold sculptures and gold statues.
