His jewelry is sculpture you wear, the monotypes a window into the universe, the chairs are sensual and sculptural and his sculptures range from welded to spill-cast to hand-shaped. His gentle nature was expressed in delicate fine wire work while his superhuman strength was needed to handle the massive architectural commissions. ]]> 2022-11-16 18:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/baishnavi_mishra1/3ocl6hbdor8vj3mz/wish/2387144587 https://padlet.com/baishnavi_mishra1/3ocl6hbdor8vj3mz/wish/2387149743 Bertoia lived from 1915-1978.
