Özet:

Considering that human anatomic figure has historically been the main theme of sculpture and people have socially tended to wear garments in most civilizations, relationship between body and cloth drapery has evidently been of great importance. Sculptural interest in human anatomy and drapery of cloth has enabled images to achieve esthetical levels and innumerable works of sculpture to be created, which has been variously justified in association with its social, political and religious functions. Drapery has appeared only to emphasize influence of nude figure in occasional periods within diversity of expression created by combination of human figure with itself throughout history and contribute to sculpture and has sometimes created a direct means of expression.

Draperies are functional in catching effects unique to light, shadow and movement, thus softening weight of volume and emphasizing their related periodicity in wholeness of sculpture. Comprehension of drapery and its roles in previous works of art is of great importance to develop given forms in sculpture.
