As a sculptor and graphic artist, I work in many types of media. Besides clay, wood, stone, and metal, I like to work directly in wax, although I cannot keep the original, which gets lost in the bronze casting process. Even if I repeat a piece, it turns out differently and is often better than the first one.
In looking back at the development of my style as a sculptor and printmaker, I see myself not as a developer who starts with groping steps and slowly builds up a formula of artistic expression. My works do not appear as an unbroken chain in which one seems to condition the next. In my case, one can speak of a number of styles occupying me constantly for an extensive period, but not for a lifetime. Only a well-trained eye will discover a certain consistency despite those periodical changes: my urge to capture movement in space, human emotions and love, literary themes, and music.
(Peter Lipman-Wulf (1905-1993), Professor Emeritus, taught sculpture at Adelphi University from 1960 to 1977. The above statement is an excerpt from "My Life and My Art: Autobiographical Sketch by Peter Lipman-Wulf," 2008, Second Edition)
