The first major monograph in sixty years on the San Francisco modernist sculptor who developed a unique abstract style rooted in surrealism and inspired by nature.This beautifully produced volume celebrates the life and career of Adaline Kent (19001957), a member of one of the Bay Areas most productive and innovative midcentury artistic groupsKent is linked to modernist artists Ruth Asawa, Mark Rothko, Isamu Noguchi, and Clyfford Still.
Texts by a diverse range of scholars cover such subjects as infinity and movement in Kents work; the influence of nature; and the diverse artistic milieu at the San Francisco Art Institute and beyond that surrounded Kent and her husband, artist Robert Howard.
With an extensive chronology and a wide selection of sculptures, photographs, and rarely seen works on paper and paintings on Hydrocal, the book substantiates Kents achievement as one of midcentury Americas most innovative sculptors, re-excavating her work for younger generations.
