I
bet you've noticed that almost every city has its own creative sculptures or
statues, usually tucked
along streets or city squares. Some of them are pretty
ordinary, but others... Other famous sculptures can be extremely eye-catching
and conversation-provoking.
The
oldest known statuette, named Venus of Hohle Fels, dates back to around 33.000
- 38.000 BCE, and since then the sculpture art has changed in many ways. If
this form of art was used to depict the surrounding world at first, then
quickly it became a way to worship gods and later, as it turned to classical
art era, to commemorate famous people. Now, modern sculptures might represent
an idea and not an object or a living being at all, take odd shapes, and be
made from absolutely any material imaginable.
To
save you some trips across the world, this is a list of the most creative
sculptures and famous statues found throughout the globe. Some are old, some
are modern art pieces, but they're all super creative and awe-inspiring. Take a
look below and don't forget to vote for your favorite works of art - either
