George Segal was an American sculptor who cast human figures directly from live models using plaster, creating life-size white plaster casts that retain the specificity of individual bodies and clothing. Working from the 1960s onward, he positioned these figures in domestic and public settings, often combining them with found objects and environments to examine everyday American life and social isolation. His work bridges abstraction and figuration, treating the human form as a site of both formal investigation and psychological presence rather than portraiture.
