The image shows a page from a book or catalog titled "A Selection of Recent American Sculpture." The text on the page provides an overview of an exhibition that took place at the Busch-Reisinger Museum from November 11 to December 21, 1951. The exhibition featured works by eleven sculptors, some of whom were already established, such as David Smith, and others who were relatively new, like Anita Huffington and Theodore Roszak. The show included works by Charles Ginnever, Michael Lekakis, Charles Selemon, Milton Hebald, and Harriet Moore.
The exhibition was prepared by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, for circulation to museums and colleges in the United States. It included 35 pieces in various materials such as wood, stone, metal, and plastic, with a few examples of German sculpture from the museum's collection.
The text discusses the variety of surfaces and materials used by the sculptors, highlighting how some artists, like modelers or welders, build forms naturally in the round, while others, like carvers, are influenced by the shape and nature of their materials. The exhibition aimed to showcase the diversity in American sculpture, with artists ranging from well-known figures like Calder, Nivola, and Amico to younger sculptors like Moore, King, and Stevenson. The text also notes the transition from traditional sculpture to more abstract and conceptual works, reflecting the evolving nature of American sculptural realism.

Key points from the text include:
The text discusses the common skeletal aspect in modern American sculpture, emphasizing that sculptors often build their forms in the round, using wood or stone, and how these materials constrain the form to three-dimensionality. The sculptor's concept is influenced by the material's intrinsic properties, while modellers can extend into space more freely.
Among the younger artists highlighted are Moore, King, and Stevens, with King receiving recognition for his work. Other notable sculptors mentioned include Cobald, Kidner, and Salerno, known for their social realism.
The text also touches on the unique approaches of established artists like Collery, Barry, and Adino, who have developed distinct styles, focusing on the material's inherent qualities in their sculptures.
The image shows a page from a book or catalog titled "CARVERS, MODELERS, WELDERS: A Selection of Recent American Sculpture." The text discusses an exhibition featuring eleven sculptors, some already established like David Smith, Leo Amino, Theodore Roszak, and David Hare, while others such as William King, Charles Salerno, Milton Hebald, and Harriet Feigen are noted as emerging talents. The exhibition, prepared by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, includes 14 pieces in various materials like wood, stone, metal, and plastic, and was on view from November 30 to December 20, 1951. The text also mentions that the exhibition highlights a common skeletal aspect in recent American sculpture, with artists using materials like copper, lead, and bronze to create both solid and open forms. The page further elaborates on the different approaches of carvers, modelers, and welders, and mentions specific artists and their recognition, such as King receiving a Fulbright Traveling Scholarship. The text also discusses the stylistic freedom and social realism in the works of some of the featured artists.
The image displays a page from a catalog or exhibition brochure titled "CARTERS, ROSENBERG, HESS. A Selection of Recent American Sculpture."
The text discusses an exhibition of works by eleven sculptors, some of whom are already well-established, such as David Smith, Ibram Lassaw, Theodore Roszak, and David Hare. Others are beginning to gain recognition, like William King, Charles Ginnever, and Harold Tovish. The exhibition includes pieces by Peter Agostini, which will be on view at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, from November 30, 1951, to December 20, 1951.
This exhibition, prepared by the Museum of Modern Art, features 14 pieces in wood, stone, metal, and plastic from various galleries and the artists themselves, along with a piece from the museum's permanent collection.
The text highlights that despite the variety of approaches, a certain skeletal aspect is common in much of recent American sculpture. Many sculptors use copper or welded steel to build forms, stretching the material into taut bounds, which often creates an effect of drawings in space. The works frequently reduce light to an incidental factor.
Only Jose de Creeft, working in wood and stone, builds his forms significantly in the round, guided by the natural shape and character of the material.
Among the younger group, Moore, Yang, and Stevens are noted for their wide recognition. Moore’s piece in the exhibition is part of a traveling scholarship he won, and Stevens’ piece is from his first one-man show at the Kootz Gallery. Their artistic origins are traceable to the trio of Tippo, Holstad, and Snelson, who are part of a younger group evolving from American social realism.
Sculptors such as Bourgeois, Ferber, and Lassaw have moved away from traditional expression, focusing instead on the conception of mass interacting with space, marking a new direction in sculpture. This new approach is described as the "open" or "transparent" conception.

The text discusses a collection of sculptures by various American sculptors, some of whom are well-established, like David Smith, Lee Bontecou, and Theodore Roszak, while others are emerging artists such as William King, Charles Salerno, Milton Hebald, and Harriet More.
The exhibition, prepared by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, features 14 pieces in wood, stone, metal, and plastic. It highlights the variety of approaches and materials used in recent American sculpture, noting a trend towards skeletal forms and the use of materials like wood and stone that allow for more three-dimensional expression.
The text also mentions that sculptors like Moore, King, and Stevens have received recognition, with King being included in the Museum of Modern Art's series of Young American Exhibitions. The younger sculptors, such as David Smith, Bontecou, and Roszak, are noted for their unique styles, with Smith and Bontecou focusing on surface qualities and Roszak integrating material into his conceptual work.
The exhibition runs from November 30 to December 20, 1951, at the Busch-Reisinger Museum.
The image shows a page from a document or a book discussing an exhibition titled "Carvers, Molders, Welders: A Selection of Recent American Sculpture."

The document notes that despite different approaches, a common skeletal aspect is present in many of the recent American sculptures. Sculptors often build forms that are either round or flat and use a variety of materials and techniques. The carvers, in particular, are noted for their work with wood and stone, where the form is built significantly within the material's constraints.
Among the younger sculptors, William King is highlighted for receiving wide recognition, including a Fulbright Traveling Scholarship. Harriet Moore, a pupil of Benni Goncalves, is also noted for her artistic contributions. Older sculptors like Collery, Hare, and Azino, along with Smith and Roszak, are described as having reached their own modes of expression, departing from earlier conceptions of sculpture and focusing on the surface qualities of their materials.
The text further mentions that the younger sculptors, such as Robert De Niro, Kidner, and Salerno, are beginning to gain recognition and are often associated with American social realism.
