    I honestly think we should retvrn to classical sculpture, I've had it up to here with modern and abstract sculpture, they all look like shit and are created by talentless hacks. Like congrats, you made a fucked up cube, it took you three days and the city just paid you $5 million for it.

    No more fucked up cubes, only statues of ripped naked men.

      but making fucked up cubes is so much easier than learning anatomy, sculpting techniques, material hardness, chiselling etc

      Pretty sure these guys still exist but they just do dull statues of local athletes or "hero" soldiers that probably ate someone alive in the Middle East on a dare for their favourite MRE snack.

      This is just a copy, but the now lost original was created sometime in the Hellenistic period.

      Here's the Wikipedia page for anyone interested in learning more.
