Transfusion, 1982     aluminum, steel and acrylic 36 3/4 x 21 x 8 inches;  93.3 x 53.3 x 20.3 centimeters "When I'm working on a sculpture my concentration is total. I plumb deeply into myself to find classic solutions that appear beyond improvement only to discover later that there are still better ways of doing things. The process of growing with my work, both spiritually and technically, seems endless...you just keep on trying." - Jerome Kirk Jerome Kirk with his work, Malibu, 1970 Born in Detroit, sculptor Jerome Kirk (1923-2019) served in WWII and received his BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1951. Drawing from the principles of engineering, Kirk’s dynamic early sculptures draw clear connections to the Kinetic Art movement.     As he developed his own distinct style, he created kinetic sculptures that moved in graceful, gentle rhythms as if orchestrated by an unheard musical arrangement. With the help of gravity and a starting force, whether it be a slight breeze or the light touch of a human hand, the mass and weight of these parts balance playfully and leave the viewer truly mesmerized. Works by Kirk are included in numerous museum collections, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Phoenix Museum of Art; University of California, Santa Barbara Art Galleries; and University of California, Berkeley Galleries.
