One of Rodin's students called his work 'beefcake' -- I don't know if he coined the term.. Picasso did some very funny sculptures (though you might find the google search easier to navigate, but for my money no one beats Giaccometi for humor, pathos, depth and style.
There is another guy who I know nothing about -- I only saw a book of his work once but it just blew me away. I think he's Dutch or German or somesuch, and he's still working. For one piece, he painted a bathroom with heavy latex, peeled it, turned it inside out, resealed it and inflated it. For another, he made a sort of music-box mechanism with a phonograph and a bunch of nails, with a fork and a pen attached to the phono.'s arm; as the table turned, the fork hit the nails, and the pen signed his name over and over on a spool of paper. Just really, really bizaare and imaginative stuff. If anyone knows who this is I'd love to hear it.
