Mark di Suvero (b. 1933)

“Most adults are deficient children; they don’t know how to play anymore. The pure response is the child’s response.” – Mark di Suvero

“What he recognized, like Calder before him, is that the pleasure we get from the moving portions of a sculpture is a primal one.” (R. Pincus, “State of Being: The Singular Sculptures of Mark di Suvero,” Mark di Suvero: Sculpture and Drawings, exh. cat., Tasende Gallery, San Diego, 2011, p. 12).
