About the book >.>.> To attempt to survey the whole of modern sculpture in the limits of a small volume would be impossible. I have selected what I take to be some of the most important sculptors and discussed the most interesting tendencies of modern sculpture. Many fields I have left untouched; the work of modern German and Austrian sculptors is of deep interest but seems to me for the most part to be depen- dent upon the work of artists discussed in this book. The work of Archipenko Zadkine and others of the ‘inorganic school’ is often of great charm and beauty but it falls out- side the main development of sculpture and deserves a special study which I have not been able to give it here. The work of Dobson is of high value and interest but demands a fuller treatment than my space allows. My constant reference to ancient Greek sculpture may seem to some to be tedious and tiresome. I indulge this weakness simply because in ancient Greece. (LL)
