Kent Bloomer 1963 Brass Sculpture "Figure 38"

Kent Bloomer is known for monumental public sculpture and for philosophical exploration of the relationship between sculpture, architecture and human beings, he was trained at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in physics and architecture, and then transferred after four years to Yale University where he has spent most of his professional life. His teacher and mentor at Yale was Erwin Hauer, a German Expressionist from whom he learned figurative sculpture. He works in both stone and metal and is inspired by works of Brancusi and the Constructivists, especially Naum Gabo and Antoine Pevsner. His early works were freestanding sculptures with undulating ribbons of brass in organic forms.
