هاري BERTOIA & nbsp(1915-1978)

 
<div><font face=Calibri size=3 color=black>Standing at an impressive 103 inches, this elegantly spare “Sonambient” sculpture by Harry Bertoia allows us to marvel at one of the finest artisans of his generation. This piece, the tallest in the series currently available here at Heather James Fine Art, features a precise arrangement of 36 slender tines in a 6 x 6 grid. This arrangement's uniformity and symmetry are visually captivating and crucial for the sculpture's acoustic properties. The rods, austere and uncapped by finials, have an aged patina with copper undertones, suggesting Bertoia's use of copper or a similar alloy known for its resonant qualities and distinctive coloration. Given the outstanding length of these rods, the attachment method is particularly noteworthy. Bertoia meticulously inserted each rod into individual holes in the base plate using precision drilling and securing techniques such as welding that ensured the rods were firmly anchored and stable, maintaining the structural integrity essential for consistent acoustic performance.</font></div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div><font face=Calibri size=3 color=black>Beyond his uncompromising nature, Bertoia's work draws significant inspiration from natural elements. This sculpture's tall, slender rods evoke images of reeds or tall grasses swaying gently in the wind. This dynamic interaction between the sculpture and its environment mirrors the movement of plants, creating an immersive, naturalistic experience. Yet when activated or moved by air currents, the rods of this monumental work initiate metallic undertones that confirm its materiality without betraying its profound connection to the natural world.</font></div><br><br><div><font face=Calibri size=3 color=black>Integrating technical precision and natural inspiration depends on exacting construction that ensures durability and acoustic consistency, while its kinetic and auditory nature imbues the piece with a sense of vitality. This fusion invites viewers to engage with the sculpture on multiple sensory levels, appreciating its robust craftsmanship and evocative, naturalistic qualities. Bertoia's ability to blend these elements results in a work that is both a technical marvel and a tribute to the beauty of the natural world.</font></div> <div><font face=Calibri size=3 color=black>Standing at an impressive 103 inches, this elegantly spare “Sonambient” sculpture by Harry Bertoia allows us to marvel at one of the finest artisans of his generation.

الاصل
مجموعه خاصه
تتيح لنا هذه المنحوتة "سونامبينت" الأنيقة التي يبلغ طولها 103 بوصة والتي يبلغ ارتفاعها 103 بوصة أن نتأمل في أحد أفضل الحرفيين من جيله. تتميز هذه القطعة، وهي الأطول في هذه السلسلة المتوفرة حالياً لدى هيذر جيمس للفنون الجميلة، بترتيب دقيق من 36 سنباً رفيعاً في شبكة مقاس 6 × 6. إن هذا الترتيب والتناسق في هذا الترتيب آسر بصرياً وضروري للخصائص الصوتية للمنحوتة. وتتميز القضبان المتقشفة وغير المغطاة بزخارف نهائية بلمسات نحاسية معتقة توحي باستخدام بيرتويا للنحاس أو سبيكة مماثلة معروفة بخصائصها الرنانة ولونها المميز. وبالنظر إلى الطول المتميز لهذه القضبان، فإن طريقة التثبيت جديرة بالملاحظة بشكل خاص. فقد قام برتويا بإدخال كل قضيب بدقة في ثقوب فردية في لوحة القاعدة باستخدام تقنيات حفر وتثبيت دقيقة مثل اللحام التي تضمن تثبيت القضبان بإحكام وثبات مما يحافظ على السلامة الهيكلية الضرورية للأداء الصوتي المتسق.





بالإضافة إلى طبيعته التي لا تقبل المساومة، فإن أعمال برتويا تستمد إلهامها بشكل كبير من العناصر الطبيعية. تستحضر قضبان هذه المنحوتة الطويلة والنحيلة صور القصب أو الأعشاب الطويلة التي تتمايل برفق مع الرياح. ويعكس هذا التفاعل الديناميكي بين المنحوتة وبيئتها حركة النباتات، مما يخلق تجربة طبيعية غامرة. ومع ذلك، عندما يتم تنشيطها أو تحريكها بواسطة تيارات الهواء، فإن قضبان هذا العمل الضخم تطلق نغمات معدنية تؤكد ماديته دون أن تخون ارتباطه العميق بالعالم الطبيعي.


يعتمد الدمج بين الدقة التقنية والإلهام الطبيعي على البناء الدقيق الذي يضمن المتانة والتناسق الصوتي، بينما تضفي طبيعته الحركية والسمعية على القطعة إحساساً بالحيوية. ويدعو هذا الاندماج المشاهدين إلى التفاعل مع المنحوتة على مستويات حسية متعددة، وتقدير حرفيتها المتينة وخصائصها الطبيعية المثيرة للذكريات. إن قدرة بيرتويا على المزج بين هذه العناصر ينتج عنها عمل يمثل أعجوبة فنية وإشادة بجمال العالم الطبيعي.
