In German, it’s “plastische Kunst”. The adjective “plastisch” basically means “three dimensional”, as in “not flat”.
Plastische Chirurgie is plastic surgery - it’s not primarily putting “plastic” into bodies ;) but sculpting a three dimensional form.
Interesting, in french, latin, greek before that, it seems it’s about plasticity, the possibility to modulate materials.
