Est: $1,200 - $1,800
David Hostetler (American, 1926-2015) "Quiet Woman" bronze on an integral black composition base with artist plaque. overall h. 15-1/2", w. 7-1/2", d. 5-1/4" Notes: This work has been verified by Susan Crehan-Hostetler, wife of the late David Hostetler and his art dealer. My sculpture is woman with the mark of the present and the past cultures on her. Timeless woman as an object, a goddess, angular, sensual, stylized; but always filled with grace and vitality that is woman. Woman to me is the ideal form, erotic yet pure, compositionary variable, yet identical every time David Hostetler Working in sinuous woods and bronze, Hostetler excelled at creating slightly abstracted, stylized female forms which refer back to the earth goddesses of ancient civilizations. Intending on a career as an engineer, Hostetler became interested in art during his recuperation from a shrapnel injury during WW II, when a Red Cross volunteer supplied the young soldier with drawing materials to keep his mind occupied. After the war, he attended Indiana University and received his MA in Fine Art from Ohio University, where he was to teach for almost forty years. His work is in the permanent collection of such institutions as the Columbus Museum of Fine Art, Ohio; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and the Montgomery Museum of Fine Art, Alabama.
