About the Item

Lorraine Crawford, Berkeley California Brutalist Iron Sculpture, ca 1960s. Attribution provided by previous owner. Dimensions: Overall: 29½" high x 14" wide x 7½" deep Structure: 29½" high x 14" wide x 2" deep Base: 9¼" wide x 7½" deep Sculpture is in good vintage condition. Patina to steel with no apparent breaks or damage. Lorraine Crawford was born in Chicago, Illinois. She pursued various eclectic interests from choreography to karate all of which contributed her elegant mastery of the visual arts. After graduating from the University of Chicago with a B.S. in Biochemistry in 1942, Crawford returned to study fine art in 1947. Crawford also attended the University of California in Berkeley from 1951- 1953. Crawford took up Japanese sumi (or sumi-e) painting under Master Chiuro Obata for a period twenty years between 1955 and 1975. She also eventually taught the technique for the Japan Society and the Arts and Crafts Cooperative in Berkeley. In 1950 the artist undertook the great creative task of choreographing, designing the set, stage and costumes for and performing in a ballet titled "Kalpa." She also completed her black belt training with the All-Japan Karate-do Federation. In the June 3, 1967 issue of New Vistas a reporter wrote of Crawford's various combined experiences: "Although working primarily in oil, she considers the main influence of her style and technique to be an oriental outlook on painting and philosophy. Her art grows out of contemplation of feeling and is expressed in a very personal symbolism - magical, mythical and visionary." Crawford was an accomplished sculptor. She created a large number of welded iron works of abstracted human figures. Many of her iron sculptures are six to seven feet tall and are reminiscent of the strange elongated figures of Giacometti.

The prolific Herms has also created theater pieces, about which he has said, "I treat it as a Joseph Cornell box big enough that you can walk around in. It's just a continuation of my sculpture, one year at a time." Legendary curator Walter Hopps, who met Herms in 1956, "placed Herms on a dazzling continuum of assemblage artists that includes Pablo Picasso, Kurt Schwitters, Marcel Duchamp, and Joseph Cornell, as well as California luminaries Wallace Berman...
