Wood and Stone

Quoted text begins.-- Are there any sculptors that do use both wood and stone in a single
sculpture?
End of quote.

Check out Constantine Brancusi. He was trained under
Rodin, and is in my opinion, the quintessential modern
master carver (Brancusi went on to train another modern
master carver, Isamu Noguchi). He utilized both stone
and wood as both individual materials as well as
integrated into the same piece.

Upon first glance it may seem like the wood is often a
base for the stone or vice versa. However, upon further
inspection, one can quickly ascertain that Brancusi's
"bases" are much more than just a base. He combined his
sculptural elements in a manner that suggests "sculpture
on a base" but usually the sculptures' dependence on the
base and the bases' elaborate forms and designs
transcends the idea of "sculpture on a base". So, the
end result was, at the time, a new idea of sculpture and
base as one integrated whole.
