Lesson 31-2     The sculptor speaks

Though they mayattain considerable accuracy in the perception of flat form, they do not makethe further intellectual and emotional effort needed to comprehend form in itsfull spatial existence.

This is what thesculptor must do. He must strive continually to think of, and use, form in itsfull spatial completeness. He gets the solid shape, as it were, inside hishead- he thinks of it, whatever its size, as if he were holding it completelyenclosed in the hollow of his hand. He mentally visualizes a complex form fromall round itself; he knows while he looks at one side what the other side islike, he identifies himself with its centre of gravity, its mass, its weight;he realizes its volume, as the space that the shape displaces in the air.
