It seeks to approach the issue not just from a technical point of view but also to include the history, art theory, aesthetics, social and cultural context - national and international, mostly from Europe – as considered essential to an overall assessment on the proposed topic. The text is divided into three categories related to stone sculpture: the sculptors and their work; the material’s history and theory; and the technique. The sculptors and the works mentioned were chosen for their plastic, aesthetic, technical or historical interest. The analysis on the works is organized into various themes related to the sculpture of the twentieth century, giving on each theme a national and international context. The concept of sculpture in general and their materials are also discussed, in particular the subject matter – stone: the different rock types; their application in sculpture throughout history, the changes in the context of the world of art and its consequences. The technique is exclusively dedicated to stone sculpture techniques: the tools; the different working methods; the technical developments - the modern technologies and working means. The working methods are divided in two phases: the classical system and the modern system; the former referring to the methods of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries – which remained in use even into the twentieth century; and the second refers to the innovations in technology and the new ways of working stone of the twentieth and twenty first centuriesporFranco, Francisco, 1885-1955Almeida, Leopoldo de, 1898-1975Duarte, António, 1912-1998Cutileiro, João, 1937-Escultura - PedraEscultura - Portugal - séc.20Tecnologia da pedramaster thesis201331250
