About the Item
Gorgeous abstracted figurative of Caryatids titled "Ring Three" by Doris Ann Warner (American, 1925-2010). Signed, titled, and dated "Warner 1970" on verso. Displayed in rustic wood frame. Image, 21"H x 14"L.
Warner first achieved recognition as an Abstract Expressionist painter, then rediscovered the world of stone carving through a journey to Pietrasanta, Italy where she studied with art professor Pasquale Martini.
Statement by Doris Warner's daughter: She was born in Kansas on May 4, 1925. She did take some art classes in Sacramento when I was in high school. She went back to school after they moved to Santa Cruz and obtained her Bachelor’s degree in 1983 from UCSC. She spent a month in Pietra Santa, Italy studying how to work with marble and purchased about three tons of marble which was shipped to Santa Cruz. All her marble pieces are from the marble she purchased while in Italy. She also spent some time in Canada but can not tell you where or what, I just remember her going up there.

Doris Warner
Doris Ann Warner began as an Abstract Expressionist painter, but was primarily known for stone carving as well as abstract female figures, which emphasized body movement through rhythmic flow of mass and line. Warner studied at the University of California Santa Cruz as well as Pietrasanta, Italy, with Professor Pasquale Martini in 1988. First achieving recognition as an abstract expressionist painter, Doris Warner discovered the world of stone carving and returned to the university for instruction in sculpting the three dimensional form. A journey to Pietra Santa, Italy, (The Mecca of sculptors), gave her a month with the Italian professor, Pasquale Martini, experiencing the Italian method of stone carving. She returned with three tons of marble and worked exclusively in that medium. The impressions and images gathered from extensive travel in Europe, Asia and Africa have inspired recent works. One of the architectural wonders of the world, The Great Stupa of Borabudur, Java, was the source of inspiration for a series of five sculptures. The five sculptures are not intended to be specifically architectonic in form and yet there is an unequivocal sense of history – frozen in time. The mysterious quality of the temple carvings are translated into bronze icons (lost-wax process) and placed on the carved marble. In addition, Doris focuses on abstracted female figures which emphasize body movement through rhythmic flow of mass and line. She usually sculpted in a series, reworking the same concept until it has been expressed as powerfully as possible. Education: University of California, Santa Cruz, California, B.A. 1983
