Retro Focus - large, hand whittled, high modernism, wooden wall sculpture

2015

The elegant, lyrical curves of this abstract sculpture by David Chamberlain are hand-carved from one continuous loop of mahogany wood. The American artist is a sculptor, painter, jazz musician, a Capella singer, composer, writer and educator—a ‘renaissance man’ whose artwork is often inspired by music. Chamberlain works with the visible grain and polishes the wood to a soft lustre to accentuate its dynamic form. Each sculpture is designed to rotate on a pedestal so that with every turn another view of the form is revealed. This is the last of a suite of eight sculptures; each anthropomorphic form designed to be reminiscent of the traditional busts...

This piece is unsigned. Irving Lehman (1900-1983) was an American Jewish painter, sculptor, engraver, and designer. Born in Kiev in then Russia, Lehman studied at the Art Students League, Cooper Union and the National Academy of Art and spent much of his working life in New York City. Part of the Abstract Expressionist school, he worked in oil and watercolor as a painter and in metal and steel as a sculptor; his works have been shown in galleries in England, France, Italy, Israel and Japan, and were included in an international traveling exhibition in Europe in 1951. Like many other artists of his generation, he painted for the WPA and then adopted a more abstract style after WWII. Lehman spent much of his career in NYC. He had his first exhibition at ACA Gallery in 1934. He also exhibited at the Whitney, National Academy, PAFA, Brooklyn Museum, Chicago Art Institute, and others. This work contains Constructivist elements anticipating the more gestural abstraction of the post-WWII New York Abstract Expressionist School. Member of American Art Congress, worked near Woodstock and in Columbia County...
