H.C. Westermann: Exhibition Catalogue and Catalogue Raisonne of Objects

Rating:
Summary: Westermann, Artist or Craftsman?
Review: H.C. Westermann makes art objects. Mostly he makes them out of wood, sometimes other materials. He makes his art objects small and large, all sizes. His objects are not sculptures although it is mostly an academic argument. Somer objects are quite large and elaborate and can pass for a sculpture. The question that always arises with an art object is: Is it art or is it both? H.C. is both an artist and craftsman. Once you had a chance to stand eye to eye with his work you will know at once that he is an artist. The book under review is a superb work of art itself. It does a very good job presenting the artist and his work. The book is arranged in a chronological order and shows a representative sample of H.C.'s work.

There are actually two books in one. The second part is a catalog raisonne of his work.

It is highly recommended for art lovers in general and those who like the not so ordinary.
