FIGURATIVE − Artists have always endeavored to capture different aspects of our human likeness, implementing styles as varied as the stunning realism of Baroque or Renaissance sculptors, or the more exaggerated treatment of Picasso, or the stylized, yet majestic manner of muralist Diego Rivera. It could be that such a fascination with the figure affirms our status as highly social creatures or perhaps it's an effort to memorialize an individual or a specific aspect of culture. Whatever your take on the reasoning behind such works, it's apparent that figurative art never truly goes out of vogue.
