Brancusi, although I do wonder about the repetition in his work.  When I
look at Brancusi's pieces though I wonder if there is anything
innovative left in modern sculpture.  Don Dougan recently urged me to
look at Brancusi's incorporation of his bases into his work and there
lies another aspect of his genius.

Lipschitz, as mentioned by sue

Cleo Hartwig, on a good day (more abstract pieces)

There also is an excellent book on 20th century american sculpture
called something like Rediscoveries in American Sculpture - it's out of
print but can be had via bookfinder.com or amazon I think

There are lots of good images in Meilach's Contemporary Stone Sculpture,
i really like masami kodama's work but can't find much on her/him

good carving,g2
