When you look at these statues they are crude by comparison with todays technology...
A 3D printer could make much more accurate representations of the subjects.Yet they embrace the reality of the day, the mood and presence the subjects portrayed.
Art is far beyond minute detail of multi million pixels (or 3D blobs), it can be amazingly crude, yet so realistic, conveying the intentions of the artist at the same time.
To me that is the gift of the artist, to convey the message, the medium doesn't matter too much, nor does the absolute detail.
Capturing the moment in light.
Cartoonists are an example of simplistic capture of a sitters character, from a brief encounter a good cartoonist can capture the essence of the sitter. To me that is art, to be able to portray simply, by whatever medium.
