Strong-Cuevas Sculpture: Premonitions in Retrospect
Published in October 2015 by Abrams, this stunning retrospective spans the artist's work from early career to most recent pieces. Strong-Cuevas carves stone as well as models in wax sculpture that is then cast in bronze, stainless steel, and aluminum. Many pieces involve the human head; their planes and shapes resonate back to Egyptian and Mayan cultures.
"Strong- Cuevas is a master of mass and monumentality. Both are made more emphatic through the dramatic use of voids, the interplay of straight and curved lines, as well as the geometric and organic... an intricately displaced geometry." - Donald Kuspit
Strong-Cuevas Drawings
Ideas on Paper
Artist Strong-Cuevas (b. 1929) says her work “expresses thoughts about universal consciousness, space and time, and inner mediation.” Known for her sculptures made from bronze, stainless steel, and aluminum, Strong-Cuevas’s art often portrays the human head and plays with scale. Her drawings are no different. They express the same themes, but are rarely used as a diagram for her sculptures.
A companion to Strong-Cuevas Sculpture, this volume is a beautifully presented retrospective of Strong-Cuevas’s drawings over the last 40 years. The book features 190 images, arranged thematically, and explores the recurring themes in Strong-Cuevas’s art, regardless of medium. With a foreword by art critic Jan Garden Castro, Strong-Cuevas Drawings offers a closer look at the artist’s process of creating expressive works.
