The January issue of the American Welding Society Journal contains an
interesting lead article on welded sculpture, written by Peter Hobart
(emeritus chairman, Hobart Bros.) who is chairman of the International
Sculpture Center in Washington, D.C.  It is a well researched piece,
illustrative of work performed and/ or designed by well known artists and
crafts people from the early part of this century to the present.  Of course
it might not be well received by the purest and most elevated of our "art
metalsmiths", but for those of ample intellect who accept the premise that
artistic endeavor appears in many forms, mediums and expressions, there
should be something here that can be transferred to the processes acceptable
to the reader.  And from an historical basis it is a good read.  Good
evening to all.
