When Enough is Enough in Modern Contemporary Sculpture.

In a Artists quest for growth, he must decide when he has expired a idea or path of conception in Modern Contemporary Sculpture. Some Artist never veer from their original concept and do ever so slight variations on the same concept for their whole carriers. This sometimes may make sense in such mature works of Pollock or Mondrian. But as a whole most artist stick to one idea or a single concept throughout their carriers in a struggle for recognition. The plan being if I do the same style and materials for so many years than this will become a recognizable venture into a identity, thus crating a recognizable object. Such artists as John M Miller (who happens to be a painter) has practiced this formula for creating a recognizable object. His patterns of diagonal lines shifted ever so slightly in color or placement on the raw canvas becomes a search for the subtle. Maybe in fact this is a way to to become recognized for a style. Some sculptors such as Richard Sera a Leader in Modern Contemporary Sculpture has worked with extremely large plates of steel for decades. His work changes in subtle and not so subtle ways. One piece may be vertical another horizontal and yet another curved and horizontal etc. In the hands of a true Modern Contemporary Sculptor, the serial approach can be overwhelmingly insightful even when the core concept remains the same.
