For nearly 50 years, John Van Alstine has created abstract
sculptures forged with stone and steel. At their essence, they
explore natural forces and man-made elements, conveying the
American experience as the confluence/conflict between wilderness
and industrialization. Since the early 19th century, as the nation
moved west, American landscape artists have depicted this
juxtaposition as a particularly American dichotomy, a friction
between the march of economic progress and the vast expanses of
open space—the Garden of Eden spoiled by modernity and machinery.
Written as a companion piece to John Van Alstine: Sculpture
1971-2018, released in 2019 by The Artist Book Foundation (TABF),
American Vistas: The Life and Art of John Van Alstine, not only
highlights and offers a critical assessment of his art, but it
delves into biographic elements that drive his creative process and
reveals the person as much as the art. Combined, they are meant to
be a singular and complete examination on one of the most important
sculptors in the last half century.
