Where do you find these? Other than the acknowledged greats of sculpture, I've found very few (none) 'greatest of' or 'underrated sculpture masterpiece' lists on the net that aren't just 'david' and 'le penseur' etc.
I just flip through sculpture books and pick out the ones I like. It really helps that I know nothing about sculpture. I have no idea which ones are "supposed" to be the greatest.
My new favorite short video ever.
Hahahahaha. Wow, how sad was the woman who started a fund to get them together? Haha.
I had tears in my eyes at the end, but I was also laughing. Perfect.
And... my new favorite fight move.
