Carol Ross is a sculptor of luminous, geometric shapes. Shifting between abstract and representational while persistently maintaining their relation and tension, Ross puts into parentheses the classical conventions of abstraction and geometry- as well as the distinction between pictorial and sculptural. Her work suggests links to ancestral totems and monuments, to arcane objects now divested of their original meanings-and also to Brancusi and Maillol. The visual elegance of Brancusi's symbolic, self-contained forms and the volumeric solidity of Maillol's figures indicate a historical context for Ross's sculpture and frame it as part of modernism's concern with the exploration of the pure, dense and quasi-abstract formal unity of archaic sculpture. Ross grew up in Long Island and attended New York University, and spent her evenings at Max's Kansas City talking with John Chamberlain and Robert Smithson. . First Edition. Hard Cover.
