Characteristics of Classical and Modern Sculptures

Classical sculpture is characterized by aestheticism, with strong emotional color, beautifying human body, beautifying gods and heroes, bodybuilding body and perfect expression in people's minds and so on. Modernist artists attach importance to emotional and subjective inner spiritual expression, replace observation with feeling, replace concreteness with synthesis, abstraction and semi-abstraction, and no longer express the form of objective existence, but try to explore the form of self-mind, deny the utility of art and think that art only exists here. Modern art is the inevitable development of traditional art and the product of modern society's reflection on the artist's spirit. Renaissance is a movement initiated by the emerging bourgeoisie in the14-17th century in the name of reviving classical Greek and Roman culture.
