Finn ( How to Visit a Museum ), a photographer whose pictures of
sculpture have appeared in over 25 books, explains in words and 70
photographs what to look for in any piece of sculpture: finely crafted
details; textures inherent in raw materials, as well as those fabricated
or refined by an artist; and the form of the whole, alive with
emotional "tension," as seen from various angles. Finn advises
developing a "tactile-feeling eye" and exercising it whenever possible,
"in effect touching . . . with your eyes rather than with your
hand"--though if a museum guard is nodding off, a discreet laying-on of
hands is also urged. The author's survey of individual works and ways of
seeing them, from classical to post-modern and Greek to East Indian, is
weak in words but strong in images. When generalizing about the meaning
of sculpture in the abstract, Finn fails to convey the special impact
of his photographs ("What is remarkable about details in a great
figurative work of sculpture is that they ennoble the human form"). But
his pictures of nude figures are outstanding, conveying the warmth of
flesh in stone.
