The Sculpture of Aldo Casanova
by James M. Dennis
The art of California sculptor Aldo Casanova matured as modernism in a distinctly American manner. That is, in form and content it originated from within an inherent attraction to nature and derived little from art historical sources, for example, from increasingly formalized Cubism, the primary path of anti-academic modernism until 1950. Animal abstractions, anthropomorphous transmutations, and imaginative landscapes were to highlight his career in that order.
