Figurative art describes artwork - particularly paintings and sculptures - which are clearly derived from real object sources, and are therefore by definition representational. The term 'figurative art' is often taken to mean art which represents the human figure, or even an animal figure, and, though this is often the case, it is not necessarily so. Since the arrival of abstract art the term figurative has been used to refer to any form of modern art that retains strong references to the real world. This blog is about figurative art in the sense of the human figure, with particular emphasis on idealised representations of the feminine, or the feminine as sacred.
