Bertoia Av Beverly H. Twitchell

<P><B>A celebration of the rich and varied work of Italian-born American artist, designer, and master of metal, Harry Bertoia</B></P><P>From chapel altarpieces and bronze fountains, to wire chairs and silver brooches, Harry Bertoia''s 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. </P><P>In doing so, the book demonstrates how seemingly disparate works are in fact united in being reflections of nature, and places Bertoia''s art squarely at the heart of American modernism.</P>
