Highlights about the artist:
CALVIN ALBERT was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1918.
He studied in Chicago with Archipenko and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy before moving to New York with his wife in 1947.
He taught at several schools before going to Pratt Institute in 1950. There Calvin was a Professor of Art and Head of the Graduate Sculpture program. He retired as PROFESSOR EMERITUS OF PRATT INSTITUTE in 1985 and later moved to Florida. Calvin lived a fulfilled life until his peaceful passing on June 4, 2007.
He was a prominent SCULPTOR and an ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST, although he walked his own line between representation and abstraction. His figures have muscular form; and simultaneously have serenity and a tension. Powerful – majestic – mysterious works! Calvin was a sculptor of enormous range and integrity! He combined both tools and hand to develop his geometric element of distortion from life-like to emotions!
Lent by Calvin Albert and filmed by the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, is Calvin’s study of developments in sculpture and sculpture training; including writings by Calvin’s own experiments with casting work being done in art schools, and areas of technique development in sculpture, and sculptures by him.
Calvin, also was given, in 1961-62, by the American Commission for Cultural Exchange with ITALY, a Fulbright Research Grant; and to the American Academy in Rome where he worked a guest artist. In 1963 and 1965 he received Tiffany Grants.
Calvin TAUGHT at several SCHOOLS, in addition, his art has been shown at various ONE MAN shows and MUSEUMS both here and abroad, throughout his career !
Calvin’s TERRA COTTA works were rolled thin on cloth and virtually he tossed them. Tools were used to shape without the normal finger manipulation that would leave anxious traces of hand.

A quote from Calvin Albert 1982:
“MY WORK BEGINS WITH IMPROVISATION, A SPONTANEOUS DEVELOPMENT OF FORMS. THE SHAPES PROVOKE NEW IMAGES, AND GRADUALLY I BRING OUT WHAT I FIND IN THE MATERIAL”.
Calvin also was given, in 1961-62, by the American Commission for Cultural Exchange with ITALY, a Fulbright Research Grant; and to the American Academy in Rome where he worked a guest artist. In 1963 and 1965 he received Tiffany Grants.
