We discussed Sculpture before, as not being purely a visual thing. If
you search around you'll find plenty of articles about sculpture as a
tactile experience, e.g. (but not only) created by, or for
appreciation by, people who are blind or with visual impairment. With
3D printing technologies rising fast it seems reasonable to assume
"look don't touch" attitudes to sculpture might fade further in the
face of cheap and accurate object replication. In general I don't see
a need to throw out perfectly serviceable types (Painting too) just
because we've generalised them. Although I'll acknowledge that having
two ways of saying the same thing does add complexity, having a short
form as a simple type can also often be handy.

cheers,

Dan
