Sculptors

Today, I want to share with all of you my favorite Sculptors. One of my very top loves is Louise Nevelson. Collecting wood and junk, she arranged magical, stunning pieces and then painted them. She was also a strong, wonderful role model to other female artists.
Next up is Beatrice Wood. This woman knew how to live her life! She did pottery and ceramic sculptors. I am partial to her pottery and glazes. Beatrice had a wonderful sense of fun and she liked younger men :-). Then we have another strong, amazing woman Louise Bourgeois, she is 97 and still sculpting! All these women are so awesome in every way.
Yes, there is a male sculptor I love. For me there is only Henry Moore. I prefer his smaller more intimate works, some of which have brought tears to my eyes. I also love Alexander Calder for his wonderful mobiles, actually I loved everything he did from jewelery to paintings, but his mobiles are my favorite. He was such a wonderful, joyful man. There you have it, my top five sculptors. I hope you learned a bit and found pleasure here :-). I am off to relax and play. Happy Friday. XOXO
