Pentameter 1965

"Pentameter," created in 1965 by Ruth Vollmer, is an abstract sculpture that showcases her talent for creating organic forms. Vollmer was a prominent figure in the mid-20th century art scene, known for her explorations in wood carving and her interest in the natural world. The bronze sculpture is composed of three rounded forms that flow into each other, creating a sense of rhythmic movement. This piece exemplifies Vollmer’s mastery of abstract expressionism, which she used to capture the essence of organic forms.
