I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.

Works from the Corwin Collection

This work is from the collection of Dr. Henry and Betty Corwin. Dr. Corwin, renowned by profession, had a great appreciation for the arts and aesthetics. An avid sculptor himself, Dr. Corwin created works in bronze, wood and brass. He was greatly inspired by the work of Alberto Giacometti, whom he visited and whose art he collected. In 1955, he and his wife hired Richard Neurta to design their Connecticut home which they filled with the art they loved. This work has remained in the family collection until now.
