Cleo Hartwig (1911 - 1988)
The works of Cleo Hartwig or on permanent display at the Newark Museum, Detroit Institute of Arts, Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Virginia, and the National Academy of Design.
Excerpt from Enid Bell's "The Compatibles: Sculptors Hartwig and Glinsky," June 1968, in 'American Artist' magazine, describes the work of Cleo Hartwig :
"An exponent of direct carving, she does not refer to a pre-conceived three-dimensional model, and only occasionally makes preliminary sketches from life. The concept, derived from a memory image, evolves during contemplative consideration of the mass, formation decisions being reached in the unhurried process of reduction with bush hammers, chisels, and rasps. She prefers this equipment to power tools which, because of their mechanical impetus, are alien to contemplation, tending to propel the user into the fatality of doing too much too soon."
Factoid: Milkweed pods were gathered from the wild, and the floss was extracted and used as fill for life jackets during World War II.
