CALVIN ALBERT – ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST - PROMINENT ARTIST AND SCULPTOR.
Calvin's BRONZE SCULPTURES embrace a figurative tradition but with a distinctly abstract attitude. He paid homage to the unfinished works of Michelangelo and adds to this a modernist geometric element!
About the artist:
CALVIN ALBERT was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1918.
He and his wife moved to New York in 1947.
He taught at several schools, before going to Pratt Institute in 1950. There he was a Professor of Art and Head of the Graduate Sculpture program. He retired as PROFESSOR EMERITUS OF PRATT INSTITUTE in 1985 and later moved to Florida.
He was a prominent SCULPTOR and an ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST, although he walked his own line between representation and abstraction.
His figures have muscular form; and simultaneously have a serenity and a tension. Powerful – majestic – mysterious works!
Calvin also was given, in 1961-62, by the American Commission for Cultural Exchange with ITALY, a Fulbright Research Grant; and to the American Academy in Rome where he worked a guest artist. In 1963 and 1965 he received Tiffany Grants.
