The abracadabra of sculpture's appeal
The master and a modern-day disciple
How many Rinehart sculptures can you find on a walk around
town?
At a first look and even at a second, you'd swear it was
magic.
Those three white towels, two folded neatly and the third
rumpled and hanging every which way — surely they're made of terrycloth and
purchased at a department store, not carved from white Carrara marble in a
stone quarry by the 34-year-old Baltimore artist Sebastian Martorana.
Those two little boys curled up on a mattress, their heads
barely heavy enough to dimple a pillow — surely they'll wake up any moment from
their nap. But that nap, which was carved in stone by the master sculptor
William Rinehart, has been going on undisturbed since 1869.
"Rinehart's Studio: Rough Stone to Living Marble,"
the new exhibition running at the Walters Art Museum,
makes a strong case for the undiluted trickery that lies at the heart of
sculpture's appeal.
