Research On The Visual Form Of The Negative Space Of Abstract Sculpture In The Modernist Period

During this period,sculptors began to pay more attention to the expression of negative space,and the visual form changed accordingly.The research on negative space in academic circles mainly focuses on the transparent part of sculpture.According to Hadrow Osborne’s point of view,this paper divides the abstract sculptures of this period into semantic abstract sculpture and non-traditional abstract sculpture.Semantic abstract sculpture is similar to traditional sculpture and still contains imitation of nature,while non-traditional abstract sculpture is completely Does not contain imitation of nature.At the same time,referring to the theories of Edgar Rubin and Rudolf Arnheim,the negative space is divided into two categories in terms of visual form.And the concave part of the edge,the other type is dominated by the concave-convex relationship,mainly the concave part of the sculpture surface.Finally,it makes a specific analysis on the innovation of negative space visual form in the two types of abstract sculptures during the modernism period.In semantic abstract sculpture,the innovation of negative space visual form is reflected in the lack of physical structure,such as the unreasonable hollow and recessed parts inside or on the surface of the human body;in non-traditional abstract sculpture,the innovation of negative space visual form is reflected in the To express one type of negative space alone is a more in-depth exploration of the two types of negative space for their respective visual forms.Through the analysis of the negative space visual forms in the two types of abstract sculptures,we can see that the volume in the abstract sculptures is gradually decreasing,and the structures dominated by lines and surfaces have increased significantly.The above increase the proportion of negative space in the work,and also illustrates the concern for negative space from the side.Through the analysis of the negative space visual form of abstract sculpture in this period,the understanding of negative space in sculpture is supplemented and improved,and it also provides some reference for the research on the visual form of negative space in other periods.
