Three Arizona Sculptors
Topic: Culture
Right after work I walked over to The University of Arizona Museum of Art. They were having a reception for a new exhibit featuring the work of Don Reitz, Curt Brill and Nobuhito Nishigawara. I probably like sculpture more than art. I'm not sure why, maybe the three dimensionality of it.

Don Reitz had abstract ceramic pieces that are very interesting. Nobuhit Nishigawara had very smooth, cream colored porcelain sculptures of women's heads with their arms and torsos in the wrong place. They were interesting but seemed rather cold to me. According to the artist you were suppose to decide the emotion of each piece but I could feel any emotion from them.

Curt Brill had sculptures of the human body that were like paper mache that a child might make. They were angular and pinched and floppy looking. I thought they were like me as I'm rather awkward and klutzy. I liked them the best as I could feel them while the work by the other artists seemed more distant to me.

They had some very nice snacks also. Yummy!
