Clyde
Angel (b. 1920-2006)
Clyde Angel worked in a solitary manner in a welders shop in Comanche,
Iowa. He was fearful of meeting people, preferring instead for
people to see him through his art. He created beautifully intricate pieces of figurative metal sculptures.
His work typically
featured animal and human forms with certain elements of nature like stars
or flowers. His works have an appeal and energy to which everyone can relate.
Clyde Angel's works have been recently featured in several important exhibitions,
including Outsider and Folk Art: The Chicago Collections at
Halle St. Pierre in Paris and Treasures of the Soul: Who is Rich
at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. |
