[2021-01-04] Harry Bertoia studied at Cranbrook from 1937 until 1939 before teaching jewelry and metalwork at the school for several years. Bertoia’s later career focused on sculpture and furniture design, and his early work at Cranbrook demonstrates his formative explorations into the material qualities and formal potential of metals, which mark him as a major artist during the twentieth century.
