Includes: Sculpture, marble base, revolving wood base, black/white photo.
About the work: Thematically, the piece resembles hills or mountains. As with all of his work that at its core is skeletal, interpretations of nature in art can take many visual forms. This sculpture is reminiscent of a 1938 creation titled, 'Big Sur Mountains or Abstraction', medium - Sandstone, on exhibition at the Monterey Art Museum.
About the artist: Born in Petaluma, CA on Nov. 9, 1905. Gordon Newell studied at Occidental College in Los Angeles (1924-25), UC Berkeley (1927-28), and then was apprenticed to Ralph Stackpole for work on the San Francisco Stock Exchange (1929-32). He then moved to Los Angeles where he taught at the Chouinard Art School and Occidental College for the remainder of the 1930s. During the years 1965-72 he taught at the Sculpture Center in Monterey. He died at his home in Carmel, CA on Dec. 6, 1998. His works, mostly in granite, are non-objective.

Edan Hughes, author of the book "Artists in California, 1786-1940".
During his long life, Gordon Newell created forms in stone that will endure for millenia. To call him merely a sculptor omits the greatness of spirit that animated the man and his work.
