Description

In clay, pastel, and collage, Manuel Izquierdo in the 1980s found alternatives to the precision required by his sculpture. These alternative modes can be understood as antidotes to the controlled approach he took to sculpture-making, but they can also be seen as exercises in nimbleness that invigorated his imagination for sculpture.
