The trailblazer in both phenomena has been Wendell Castle, an extraordinarily inventive and influential artist whose works as a whole embodies the development of handcrafted furniture as a major art form.He has consistently challenged the traditional concept of wooden furniture design and construction, using wood to create new, highly expressive forms, thus becoming a major catalyst in the emergence of the artfurniture movement over the past thirty years. He has created innovative works that transcend a reverence for material and express a concern for meaning rather than function. His recent breakthrough work goes beyond obvious technical virtuosity and mastery of craft tradition to concentrate on conceptual issues. He has even moved into PostModernist architectural forms (although he denies the label), into design, and into painted sculpture.Furniture by Wendell Castle places the artists oeuvre within the contexts of both the emerging postwar crafts movement and mainstream American art of the past three decades.
