Description:
CALVIN ALBERT – ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST - PROMINENT ARTIST AND SCULPTOR
This Terra Cotta Sculptor depicts the sculptors\' mannerism in abstract.
Calvin\'s TERRA COTTA SCULPTURES. Calvin\'s terra cotta works were rolled thin on cloth and virtually he tossed them. Tools were used to shape without the normal finger manipulation that would leave anxious traces of hand.
This piece is part of a very large collection of Calvin\'s works including Charcoals Drawings, Bronze, Terra Cotta and Resin with Gesso Sculptures. Please inquire about additional pieces and prices.

CALVIN ALBERT was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1918.
He studied in Chicago with Archipenko and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy before moving to New York with his wife in 1947.
He taught at several schools before going to Pratt Institute in 1950. There Calvin 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 was a sculptor of enormous range and integrity!
Lent by Calvin Albert and filmed by the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution is Calvin\'s study of developments in sculpture and sculpture training, including writings by Calvin\'s own experiments with casting work being done in art schools, and areas of possible development in sculpture and sculptures by him
