By teaching us how to look at and experience sculpture in the same way that sculptors think about sculpture, Herbert George provides us with the tools for understanding and appreciating the three-dimensional object, and demonstrates how we can begin to communicate using the language of sculpture UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1510/2014466876-b.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1510/2014466876-d.html ER -
