Harry Bertoia, Sculptor is devoted to the life and work of a
twentieth-century Italian-born American artist whose important
commissions are located in twenty-five American cities from New
York to Seattle and from Minneapolis to Miami. It traces the
development of Bertoia's versatile career from his youth in
Detroit, beginning with drawings, paintings, and monoprints, then
jewelry and furniture designs, to his abstract sculptures in
metals, many of architectural proportions. The book includes a
biography of the man and detailed descriptions of his methods of
working. Many major sculptures and some minor ones are described in
detail. They are critically analyzed for their aesthetic components
and the ideas they were intended to express. A large number of
photographs supplements the descriptions and analyses. Two
appendixes give chronologies of the artist's life and of his
architectural commissions, the latter virtually a catalog of
Bertoia's major works. Based on several extensive interviews with
the artist, as well as on research into his earlier writings, the
book includes Bertoia's thoughts on aesthetics and various phases
of the art processes he uses. His work is categorized into four
major aesthetic explorations that interested him most of his life.
