The art term for a sculpture viewed from one side and created on a flat background is "relief sculpture." Relief sculptures can be classified into two main types: high relief, where the figures project significantly from the background, and low relief (or bas-relief), where the projection is minimal. These works are often used in architectural decoration and can depict various scenes or figures.
A sculpture that is viewed from one side and created on a flat background is known as a relief sculpture. This form of art is typically carved into a solid surface, where the figures project from the background but remain attached to it. Relief sculptures can be classified into high relief, where the figures stand out significantly, and low relief (or bas-relief), where the projection is minimal. These sculptures are commonly found in architectural settings and decorative arts.
Alberto Giacometti's most famous sculpture is "Walking Man," created in 1960. This iconic bronze figure embodies themes of existentialism and the human condition, characterized by its elongated form and sense of isolation. The sculpture reflects Giacometti's exploration of the human experience, conveying a powerful sense of movement and introspection. Its minimalist style and emotional depth have made it a significant work in modern art.
The term for carved works of sculpture is "relief sculpture" when the figures are raised from a flat background, or simply "sculpture" when referring to three-dimensional carved works in various forms. Carvings can be made from materials like stone, wood, or ivory, and they can be full-round (freestanding) or in relief.
