Practice question · Match the pairs
Match each sculptor to the move they are associated with.
- Archipenko
- Moore
- Gabo
- Caro
- Removing the pedestal and working on the floor
- The hole as an element with shape-meaning
- Concave standing in for convex
- Renouncing mass for constructed transparency
Hints
- Three moves concern mass and void; one concerns position.
- The move about the plinth is the most recent.
Show the answer
- Archipenko → Concave standing in for convex
- Moore → The hole as an element with shape-meaning
- Gabo → Renouncing mass for constructed transparency
- Caro → Removing the pedestal and working on the floor
Why
Setting them side by side shows the moves are cumulative rather than competing. Each takes something the previous one established and asks what else follows from it, which is why the sequence reads as an argument rather than a list of styles.
