I chose Henry Moore because his sculptures are fluid and natural. I like these pieces because they are almost as though the stones were worn away by natural causes, like water or sand. His unique style evokes feelings by using natural contours and colors. Also, by having them highly finished it gives it that natural worn away look. It is unique because the look they have is natural but yet their locations and the fact that they are handmade gives them that uniqueness!

Eva Hesse’s sculptures are organically unique, both sculptures have a tan color and are not perfectly even. I like how she has raised the string and given it a floating airy feeling. With her repetition piece it is intriguing because they are not perfectly straight and not in a line. I found these sculptures extremely interesting and natural. I like these a lot because they are basic, yet they are very intriguing. I feel my art sometimes follows this type of thinking or basic idea.

Tony Smith’s sculptures are unique in the fact that they are extremely geometric, but yet still have movement. I like this about them because it feels as though they are trying to become mobile and just start moving away. Also, another thing unique would be how he uses solid colors on these sculptures so they are even more stark and bold. What makes these sculptures so unique are the fact that they are so simplistic and giant. This is not something you will see everyday.

Walter Demaria’s sculptures are very interesting. In his sculptures he places ordinary, everyday things in different places or set-ups. These two show him using metal rods, both in perfect lines. It may not be an originally made up object, but by placing them in these ways make them unique. Almost as though he is testing the limits of every day art and objects. I like them because they are fun and a great use of metal rods! By infusing nature into his art is amazing and I love it!

Last I chose Robert Smithson’s sculptures because they are so different from each other. The Spiral Jetty is completely tied into nature, where as the Gyrostasis is angular and very geometric. I like that they are so different from each other, it is cool how he can do completely opposite pieces, but yet still have his touch to them. They both are curved like sculptures in two very unique ways!
