Beauty in Motion: Animal Sculptures at the National Art Museum of China

Animals are the spirits of nature. Over the long years, they have been closely related to human life and have become an endless source of artistic creation. Among them, animal sculptures have a long history and have a charm that transcends time and space and strikes the heart. From ancient primitive sculptures to grand works in ancient civilizations to diverse creations in modern society, animal sculptures have always attracted people's attention with their vivid postures and rich connotations, carrying people's observation, understanding, and awe of animals. They are not only a reproduction of animal forms but also an important carrier for expressing thoughts, emotions, and aesthetic concepts, and have thus become an important artistic expression in the process of human civilization. Artists use sculptures to call on people to respect life, cherish nature, and advocate harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
