Seymour Lipton

Seymour Lipton (6 November 1903 – 15 December 1986) was an American abstract expressionist sculptor.

His early choices of medium changed from wood to lead and then to bronze, and he is best known for his work in metal.

He made several technical innovations, including brazing nickel-silver rods onto sheets of Monel to create rust resistant forms.

[3] Dr. Lori Verderame wrote the definitive monograph on Seymour Lipton entitled Seymour Lipton: An American Sculptor in 1999 published by Hudson Hills Press and the Palmer Museum of Art, Penn State University.

The book was based on the author's research conduction to complete her Ph.D. dissertation entitled Seymour Lipton: Themes of Nature in the 1950s The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA.[4] Much of his art addresses the themes of flight, nature and war.
