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!
