Roles and Impacts
- Models contributed ideas of gesture and balance.
- Patrons commissioned bold works and defended them.
- Artists (like Claudel) pushed the language forward.
| Role | Impact |
|---|---|
| Model | Gesture intelligence |
| Patron | Public presence |
| Artist | Innovation |
Credit circulates; sculpture is a social art.
