This Facebook Page Is Dedicated To Amazing Sculptures, And Here Are 50 Of The Best Ones
Sculpture has been used as a form of human expression since prehistoric times. In fact, the earliest known works of sculpture date from around 32,000 B.C.
They were, of course, far from how we imagine sculptures today, mostly either utilitarian objects decorated with sculptural forms or small animal and human figures carved in bone, ivory, or stone. Researchers suspect that these earliest forms of sculpture had been used mostly for spiritual and religious purposes.
Fast forward to Greek sculpture, which shaped the way we perceive human creativity and skill as something eternal. Then you look back at its revival in Roman art that opened up new horizons still relevant today, and then you look at the great Renaissance master Michelangelo or French sculptor Rodin or Jeff Koons, the sculptor of today, and you wonder.
Can there be anything more profound and beautiful than these incredible sculptures? Well, the answer is below thanks to a beautiful Facebook account titled “Sculpture.” We wrapped up some of the most incredible pictures of sculpture shared on this page, so enjoy!

Can anyone give some context to this? BP curators could you curate please instead of just slapping a collection of pictures? You claim to be a platform for lovers of design but lovers of design would like some context, background.

I thought of buns in the oven. Like dinner rolls, and how they squish together when they bake. Not a comforting thought, tbh.

Decades ago my mom was involved with/helped curate an art show called Sculpture to Touch so blind people could enjoy and experience the art. It was the greatest art show for EVERYONE because you could feel the paintings, caress the sculptures, experience all the textures of every medium. It was incredible!
Load More Replies...What I particularly like about these is that there's no pretentious interpretion required. They are nearly all uncomplicated, yet beautiful, works of art.
They're all so beautiful and I feel so calm and at peace looking at each. If only I could own one!
Loved these! I can't begin to imagine how some people can come up with these concepts let alone make them happen. It makes me wonder if maybe they're a different species than me.
Wow. What a great post. This is art, and I feel so blessed to see all these different artists, their materials, their work, the outcome. It gives happiness and contentness to my mind. Thank you. Also looked up some of the artists and was not disappointed.
I am in awe of these sculptors just as I am of musical composers... I cannot pretend to understand their creative genius or vision but I can appreciate their creations.
