Holter Museum Exhibition
The Silent Voice of Form
Sculptor Floyd Tennison DeWitt was hosted by the Holter Museum of Art in the 1990s for the largest one man show of sculpture in Montana history.
What can our technically untrained or naive eyes rely on to guide us through the visual arts? Floyd DeWitt fuses abstraction with visual reality in an effort to inspire rather than illustrate.
“His eye records more than the surface of things. His works seems to combine an American’s love of nature with a European’s sense of fragile humanity.”
“Into his material, DeWitt insinuates hints and glimmers and faint whispers of the mystery behind life...”
“An outstanding sculptor.”
“An authentic master of the fine arts; DeWitt is the only artist born in the American West who has accepted western civilisation’s entire artistic reach as his legitimate country.”
“A rare and wonderful combination of power, intelligence, light and beauty; He is destined to glory.”
“One of the rare Montanans with whom we are blessed; He has transformed classical sculpture into a unique twentieth century art form.”
“The visual poetry that marks the difference between competency and art; DeWitt is one of America’s greatest sculptors.”
“Here in the virtual wilderness, is the sophistication one hopes to find in cultural centers. In DeWitt’s work lies the true spirit of the transformation of nature in art.”
“An authentic master of the fine arts; DeWitt is the only artist born in the American West who has accepted western civilisation’s entire artistic reach as his legitimate country.”
“His work is not a photograph of nature, but rather an expression of nature.”
“Portraits of various people, in clay and bronze, images of beasts of burden are elevated by the use of mythology. I was impressed with the professional and highly skilled work created by Floyd DeWitt.”
“His sculpture has powerful form and dynamic life force. I find it sensitive and moving.”
“From Floyd DeWitt’s pieces flow strength, vigor, energy and, yet more than a touch of gentle poignancy.”
