Try to figure it out

Article Abstract:

Some critics of modern art have claimed that it has abandoned traditional skills, particularly in depicting the human form. However, most modern art is in fact figurative, showing the human presence and human relationships in many different ways. This is shown in the works of painter John Currin, who is mainly concerned with the female form, and sculptor Stephan Balkenhol, whose works are naturalistically proportioned.
