The late industrial designer and sculptor Harry Bertoia was the ultimate creative polymath, the quintessential designer-craftsman, a complete and gifted artist.
He made a reputation for himself in every field he entered. He was an innovator, he was passionate about his work, he was modest, and above all he was generous.
Harry Bertoia embodied all that is praiseworthy in an artist. ” Art was his sole focus and mission in life.
” I like to think of my work in this way … There are several kinds, and I like to think that each kind occupies a certain region in the cosmos, maybe the cosmos of my mind, but each work finds its proper environment in a region.
And if you go far enough you could expand this region, cultivate it and it would become fruitful and do more… I regard nature as being the strongest influence “. – Harry Bertoia
