What was Myron's central idea about sculpture?
My central pursuit was to represent movement and the peak of dramatic action. I believed that true artistry lay not just in static beauty, but in capturing the ephemeral, the dynamic flow of life itself. The moment of greatest tension, where potential energy is about to be released into kinetic force, held a profound beauty for me. This required a deep understanding of anatomy and a keen eye for the fleeting expressions and postures that define intense physical exertion or emotional upheaval.
