George Segal (1924-2000) was an American figurative sculptor and painter known for his plaster life-size casts of people in everyday poses and environments. He studied under abstract expressionist Hans Hoffman but felt abstraction did not suit his style. Segal is considered a Pop Artist for his depictions of popular culture, though he is also seen as influencing Photo-Realism. His plaster sculptures, often with real objects added, were his greatest contribution and had a major influence on other sculptors like Hanson and de Andrea.
