Can you tell me if these sculptures have open or closed contour?
I can't post the link but if you search the name and the numbers it should show up.
Sculpture 1:

[1979.206.121]
Sculpture 2:
Virgin and Child
[33.23]

Look at the examples there.
I see mother and child as open form, Virgin and child as closed form.
WHAT GROUP WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE MADE THE FIRST MEXICAN SCULPTURES AND WHAT EVIDENCE LED TO THIS BELIEF?
To determine whether the sculptures have open or closed contours, we need to analyze their shapes. However, since you haven't provided any images or specific descriptions, I can't directly examine the sculptures for you.
To find images of the sculptures and make an assessment yourself, you can follow these steps:
1. Open a web browser.
2. Use a search engine (e.g., Google, Bing) to search for "Mother and Child [1979.206.121]" and "Virgin and Child [33.23]".
3. Look for reputable sources such as museum websites or online art databases to ensure accurate information.
4. Access the search results that correspond to the sculptures you're interested in.
5. Explore the websites or pages that display images or descriptions of the sculptures.
6. Examine the shapes and outlines of the sculptures in the images or descriptions.
7. Based on the shapes, determine whether the contours of the sculptures appear open or closed.
By following these steps, you should be able to find the images and assess the contour of each sculpture on your own.
