I forget who first jokingly defined sculpture as something you bump into when you step back to look at a painting. I n any case, like most witticisms, this one contains a germ o f truth: both the general public and scholars pay more attention to painting than to sculpture. There are undoubtedly many reasons for this. We are a society geared to experiencing things on a flat plane rather than in three dimensions. No t only do we learn from the pages and photographs in books, magazines, and scholarly journals, but television and now the computer play ever greater roles in our lives. As far as the teaching o f art history is concerned, we depend primarily upon the projection o f slides onto a flat screen. I n colleges and universities, the overwhelming majority o f art-history courses give greater emphasis to painting than to sculpture—except, o f course, when dealing wit h a period or culture such as Classical Greece, from which little other than three-dimensional objects has survived. It is not surprising, therefore, that paintings, prints, and drawings tend to be more avidly collected than sculpture and that, in recent decades, there has been an explosion o f interest in photographs.
