Carol A. Feuerman

Carole A. Feuerman's sculpture combines breathtaking super realist technique with a humanist approach to her subjects. This revised monograph on her work is filled with David Finn's dramatic photographs covering nearly three decades of her work, including many enlarged details and multiple views, providing a cinematic, almost three-dimensional experience. The work - in resin, cast marble, bronze, and other materials, often painted - ranges from early erotic reliefs through full-scale sculptures of athletes and nudes. Her work is motivated by questions about the nature of reality and her remarkable skill as an artist leads the viewer to the same questions. Yet beyond the simulacrum of reality, Feuerman also manages to convey the feeling behind the intense physicality, the passion and sensuality of mundane poses.
