| Description: |
With more than one hundred seventy sculptures, drawings, and paintings, this is the firstcomprehensive view ofthe art of Renaissance man Arthur Carter.Successful in journalism and business, and trained as a classical musician, Carter is an accomplished artist in themodernisttradition.His abstract sculptures allude to human gestures and interactions. Though firmly grounded, they appear on the verge of flight. Though silent, they suggest song. His lyrical drawings and rigorous paintings, often studies for sculptures, are informed by a deep familiarity withthe artists he admires mostMondrian, Kandinsky, Arp, Bracque, and Picasso. Art historian and journalist Charles A. Riley II explores Carter's work, and Peter Kaplan, editor in chief of The New York Observer, contributes an illuminating biographical essay. Arthur Carter: Sculptures, Drawings, and Paintings presents the compelling artistic vision of a fascinating man. |
| Synopsis: |
Arthur Carter s metal sculpture is a form of drawing in space, and so it is not surprising that analytical, exploratory drawing is the foundation of his practice as an artist. "Arthur Carter: Studies for Construction "reproduces more than 200 of his drawings, which reveal the attention to interval and rhythm of the trained classical musician that he is. Carter, who has spent much of his life in the upper reaches of finance and journalism, is an artist whose sense of reality is deeply grounded in the lyrical abstractions of geometry: Only squares and circles, lines and ellipses, he says, can elegantly explain and simplify the complex meaning of life. Art historian and journalist Charles A. Riley offers a compelling portrait of Carter s mind and hand at work." |
