Arthur Williams
20th century
American, b. 20th c.
Excerpt from Billie Silvey interview with Arthur Williams: As a youngster, I enjoyed carving and working with my hands whether it was helping my dad with building houses or whittling wooden toys. I always planned to be an artist. During my career, I have enjoyed working with almost all sculpture media including bronze, steel, plastics, wood and stone. However, I gravitated more towards carving (wood and stone). Maybe it is the result of working with my carpenter father when I was young. Much of my work has been non-objective (no object in mind, just form) or abstract. There was a period in my earlier work where I developed a reputation for realistic carvings and castings using the female form. I received a B.A. in art from Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas, then an MFA from the University of Mississippi. My D.A. is from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the teaching of the third dimension. My sculpture is located in over 25 states, Canada and Mexico. Most is in private collections. I have no record of their exact locations nor photos of most of them except for what is in my three books on sculpture. Hurricane Katrina destroyed my records as well as most of the sculpture I personally owned. Several of my large steel sculptures (over 10,000 lbs.) are located on Long Island and Rochester, NY; Dallas and Galveston, TX; Salt Lake City; West Palm Beach and San Francisco. Arthur Williams with one of only five sculptures that escaped damage in Katrina, a carved walnut titled "Mother with Child."
