Sculpture has always tended toward the humanistic and naturalistic. Depiction of the human form as it appears in nature, weather for superstitious, religious, magical or purely artistic purposes, has been a concentration for every civilization. "Coming To Life" explores the evolution of the human form, specifically as depicted through the use of sculpture. Taking into account the chronological disparity of artistic evolution between cultures, as well as their preferred artistic style, medium and, design technique, "Coming To Life" has focused on sculpture of the Mediterranean and Near East from the third Millennium BCE to the second Century CE. We see the evolution of form through specific progressive developments; archaic stylization to realism, realistic movement to the Classical idealized form, and finally the Roman realization of facial emotional expression. "Coming to life" offers a streamlined view of these distinct changes.
