(1907-1981) First generation New York abstract expressionist artist
sculptor, painter, draughtsman
The first piece of sculpture after "Spatial Construction"
"I think the title is a little obvious but it is meant to be that, namely that is was a kind of growing out, and the first appearance of a form that I found to suggest itself as a result of that first spacial construction, in all of its irregularities. The forms themselves are ones that seem to indicate embryonic emergence." [Theodore Roszak Interview with Elliott, 1956, p.13]
