1932-45 Constructions

"Over the course of about eleven years, from 1932 to 1945, Roszak fabricated about forty-five constructions, including Crescent Throat and Airport Sentinel (both 1932). As a group, the constructions display structural and formal variance - small-scale reliefs and monumental free-standing sculpture- from the most severe geometric formulations to the most amorphic ruminations...Many are sculptural counterparts to painting; color is an essential skin. They also become a transition to welded-steel sculpture."

[Dreishpoon, Douglas, "Theodore Roszak: Constructivist Works, 1931-47", Hirschl & Adler Galleries, NY, p.10-11]

Exhibited:

1940, Julien Levy Gallery, New York, NY.

1940, Hugh Stix's Gallery.

1956-57 Retrospective at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN.

1978, Zabriskie Gallery, New York, NY.
