Sorel Etrog remarks on the search for his visual language: “I would say that my search is for a language of forms possessing two fundamental elements: one of organic calligraphy which will evoke warmth and earthiness; the other a geometric calligraphy which will compel us by its strength. In blending these two calligraphies I hope to achieve a rich enough language to express my own personal vision.” The undulating forms of “Study for Madonna Bust” wrap around and intersect into knotted connections, exemplifying this calligraphic associative language.
