"Armless: A Glimpse into the Historic World of Sculpture" From the ethereal beauty of the Statue of the Esquiline Venus to the captivating image of Jeff Lynne, lead singer and songwriter with The Electric Light Orchestra, armlessness has been a recurring theme in art throughout history. In plate 37 of The Disasters of War, we are confronted with a haunting etching that depicts the horrors faced by humanity. This powerful portrayal reminds us that even in times of despair, art can serve as a medium for reflection and change. The Torso - Woman sculpture crafted from Bath stone and slate base transports us to 1913, where an unknown artist skillfully captures feminine grace through absence, and is as if this piece invites us to contemplate what lies beyond physical form. Moving forward in time, we encounter a plaster statuette showcasing a female torso from 1887. Through oil on canvas strokes, this artwork evokes both vulnerability and strength simultaneously – an enigmatic fusion brought forth by its missing limbs. Delving further back into history reveals ancient masterpieces like Dragon King and Sogyo Hachiman from unknown creators during the 10th-12th centuries. These sculptures embody mythical power while embracing armlessness as an artistic choice that adds intrigue to their narratives. Traveling back even further takes us to ancient Greece with a statuette dating back to the 5th century BCE portraying a mysterious male figure. Its lack of arms leaves room for interpretation, allowing viewers to ponder upon its significance within Greek mythology or society at large. As we journey across continents and epochs, we stumble upon divine beings such as A Goddess from Angkor period (12th century) or God Vishnu (11th century). These awe-inspiring sculptures transcend time itself through their sheer magnificence despite lacking arms – reminding us that true divinity knows no boundaries. Lastly, standing before us is a nameless Standing Female Figure from around A. D. 200.
