Description
Summary:This paper examines Alexander Archipenko's use of archetypes in his creative work. Alexander Archipenko (1887-1964), an internationally renowned sculptor and a respected teacher, was an important innovator of the twentieth century. Archetypes based on ethnocultural concepts fundamentally influenced his aesthetic views and shaped his ideas of the plastic arts. Archipenko's art was his conceptual synthesis of diverse visual archetypes and symbols using innovative forms and materials. He considered archetypes to be universal structural elements of the universe. His creative explorations were integrated with his analyses and philosophy of form. His work can be considered within universal, multicultural, and anthropological contexts.
