WSU presents exhibit of sculpture
and prints by two influential Detroit
mid-century Modernists.

rving Berg and Robert Broner,
longtime friends as well as fellow
artists and educators at Wayne
State University, worked with found
objects — only in different ways.
Berg was a sculptor
who used the objects
in three-dimensional
collages, and Broner
was a printmaker who
used objects as both
printing devices and
subjects.
Their work and
Irving Berg
friendship come
together in a memo-
rial tribute exhibit,
"Berg/Broner:
Sculpture and Prints
by WSU Mid-Century
Modernists:' It runs
Sept. 22-27 at the
McGregor
Memorial
Robert Broner
Conference Center at
the university.
The display, presented by the
College of Fine, Performing and
Communications Arts, complements
the Mid-America Print Council
Conference hosted by Wayne State from
Sept. 24-27.
"There will be about 20 pieces of
Irving's work:' says his widow, Harriet
Berg, whose long career as a dancer is
captured in the display organized with
curator Douglas Haller.
"Douglas divided the sculptures
according to themes, such as fam-
ily and war, and we've borrowed
Berg's Fallen Warrior from the Jewish
Community Center in Oak Park"
Haller will be arranging photos of the
larger pieces, which incorporated wood
and metal.
Berg (1921-2009), who supervised
student teachers, also explored artistic
styles as a ceramist, jewelry designer
and photographer. His projects are in
the collections of the Detroit Institute
of Arts and Wayne's Reuther Library.

Robert Broner: Cool Power, 1968,
intaglio from circuit board
Camp Maas in Ortonville captures bib-
lical themes he developed with camp-
ing assistants.
The prints of Robert Broner (1922-
2010) are being sent from New York,
where his daughter, Nahama Broner,
has selected about 15 of them working
with curator Janet Hamrick.
"Robert Broner experimented with
printmaking," Hamrick says. "He would
take an object, wipe it with ink and
make a print. Quarry shows stacked
stone pebbles.
Broner completed his projects
while working as a professor of art at
Wayne in Detroit, Haifa University and
Bezalel Academy of Art and Design
in Israel, and Cooper Union School of
Art in New York. He was founder and
president of the Michigan Association of
Printmakers and the first to use electric
circuit boards as printing plates.
His work is in the collections of the
Detroit Institute of Arts, Art Institute
of Chicago, Museum of Modern Art in
New York and the National Gallery of
Art in Washington, D.C.
"Irving and Robert represented a
generation of artists that believed in the
importance of art to the community,"
Harriet Berg says. "That stood in con-
trast to the materialism of the 1950s, an
important time of their work" ❑
"Berg/Broner: Sculpture and Prints by WSU Mid-Century Modernists"
runs Sept. 22-27 at the McGregor Memorial Conference Center on the
campus of Wayne State University, 495 Gilmour Mall, in Detroit. Hours
are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m.-noon
Saturday. http://cfpca.wayne.edu/berg-broner.php.
