The Relationship and Difference between Traditional Sculpture and Modern Sculpture in China

The traditional sculptures in China are mainly Buddha statues, but there are also some figurines. Artisans in each dynasty have different aesthetics, so their styles are different. I don't think there was a set of basic modeling training methods in ancient China, which is what people call the difference between folk and academy. Therefore, traditional sculptures in China pay attention to the charm of sculptures, many of which are exaggerated at will, but they can express a unique artistic conception. China's painting is earlier than master Xu Beihong's, which is the beginning of contemporary painting in China. It is only from the west that we have been learning this rigorous observation and painting method, so modern sculpture is the same. Summary: The difference is that there are certain differences in modeling. What is relevant is that painting is people-oriented, and so is sculpture.
