ART 108 George Segal


George Segal became know for his sculptures of people. Originally a painter he began making sculpture of people. Unlike other artists Segal did not discard the the molds of made of plaster but rather used them as the final product. Because of this his artwork stood out and had a slightly ghostly appearance. After several years of doing this he then began to paint them in monochromatic colors. He also started to blend them in to their environment by adding signs and other street like items and presenting them on the street. His unique style as well as his way of presenting his art work on the street has made him stand out as an artist.
