DescriptionA celebration of the rich and varied work of Italian-born American artist, designer, and master of metal, Harry BertoiaFrom chapel altarpieces and bronze fountains, to wire chairs and silver brooches, Harry Bertoias creative output was varied in the extreme. This new book explores his entire career: his move from Italy to Detroit at 15; his formative years at Cranbrook; his work with Charles Eames and Knoll; through to his fascinating sound sculptures. In doing so, the book demonstrates how seemingly disparate works are in fact united in being reflections of nature, and places Bertoias art squarely at the heart of American modernism.About the AuthorBeverly H. Twitchell has a PhD in art history and has taught at various universities for 35 years. She first met Bertoia in 1973 and shared a close friendship with him until he died in 1978. As the only art historian who knew and worked with Bertoia in his last years, interviewing him at length, Twitchell is uniquely placed to offer real insight into Bertoias work and world.
