THE SCULPTURE OF HERBERT SIMON
■tM A—
Any artist's work should be seen in its collective variety.
but it is especially edifying to see Herbert Simon's work in
this way. Having worked geometrically in meta! for the
past ten years, his course has been consistent and evolu
tionary, a chain of variations upon an initial idea leading
ultimately to another idea and another set of variations.

FACETS, 1977

Schaeffer Lecture Hall
Wilkes College
His primary starting points in the history of modern
sculpture have been Constructivism, particularly David
Smith's American version, and the more recent Minimalism,
both of which have based themselves upon geometric forms
and assemblage techniques. Simon has been exploring an
area generally lying somewhere between the more complex,
sometimes expressionistic style of the Constructivists and
the spare, often inert manner of the Minimalists. Although
his works are highly reductivist in character, their simplicity
does not obscure their complexity.

his works are highly reductivist in character, their simplicity

Simon creates visual fugues; in this day and age, we
might call them "cybernetic" variations. They result from
the method of playing and replaying upon a basic module,
in a kind of rationalist improvisation. This technique may
apply to a single piece; simply, as in Reorient II, where the
two modules are placed on different axes; or more com
plexly, as in Facets (see fig. 1), where sixteen modules are
grouped in different planar relationships to create a hidden
symmetry. The method may also apply serially, where the
module is carried through a set of individual sculptures, so
that comparison of two or more pieces within the set
provides another level of interrelational interest.
The present exhibition is made up mostly of two such
series, the Mazes and the Thrus, plus a number of pieces
from earlier series. In the Mazes, executed in 1978, Simon
recalls the words of Paul Klee by "taking a line for a walk."

As the Maze series explon
and is essentially open in ch,
into a realm of cubical space:
�4n aluminum line travels through space, from a horizontal
plane to a vertical one, from inside to outside and back, or
vice versa. By working within a strictly limited modular
system, the artist is able to explore and analyze a greater
number of possible variables. Minor physical shifts within
the system result in subtle but often significant differences
in psychological effect.
Nexus, for example, seems to rise from the floor while
it links the plane of the floor to that of the wall; but it also
appears to hold those planes apart, like some fragile but
perfectly positioned buttress. The Wall Fall pieces seem to
drop from the wall to the floor, suggesting two delicate
cataracts just beginning their journey across the horizontal
plane which extends before them. Juncture II has a classic
ally uniform perpendicularity, but Reorient II uses the same
module to suggest something playfully dynamic and
"baroque."
In another sense, all of the Mazes are dynamic. They are
not closed systems, but could easily continue on indefin
itely. The spiralling movement is open-ended. Even when it
reaches the point of internal constriction, as in Ravel Up,
the metal line suddenly breaks into a vertical direction and
begins a soaring ascent. Perhaps it could become another
Nexus, or perhaps something altogether different. Ravel Up
alludes to potentiality, while Nexus takes us to a further
level of resolution (but not finality; the ends are still open).
It is possible to think about and react to many separate
aesthetic events in individual works as well as in their
collectivity. Points of convergence or tangency, shifts of
direction, interplays of void and mass, patterns of light and
shadow — all these become more conspicuous in sculpture
which is geometrically uncomplicated. Therein lies its
complexity.
As the Maze series explores linear movements in space
and is essentially open in character, the Thru series takes us
into a realm of cubical spaces enclosed by flat planes.
Suggesting architecture or even stage sets, these structures
invite us to enter vicariously. Here our eyes are not follow
ing the route of a linear form through space. Rather, we
imagine ourselves passing through the shaped spaces of the
boxes. Sometimes the passage is open, but sometimes it is
unclear where we will end up, or whether we will be able to
pass through at all. An element of mystery or of potential
frustration ensues. This effect is only heightened by the
play of shadows within the box, sometimes suggesting
ominous cul-de-sacs, but at other times giving way to a
"light at the end of the tunnel."
To some extent, the variables in the Thrus are more
intriguing than those of the Mazes. The constant of the
outer cube establishes strict boundaries which are absent
with open space, and which force the sculptor to work
within the given configuration. Still, the possibilities are
virtually limitless. The interior partitions may be straight,
bent, or curved, slanted or erect, contiguous or separated,
so that each sculpture ends up with a distinct character.
Never do these interiors become fussily complex, however.
The planes remain large and limited in number. The essen
tial aspect of each work is easily comprehended, even when
the eye is prohibited total entry.
The brushed aluminum surfaces of most of Simon's
pieces create another kind of variation, by compounding
the dynamics of a "line" or a plane. The shimmer fluctuates
from soft to sharp, often in optically teasing ways, to
quicken or retard the eye's movement along a surface. In
some of the Thrus, it even creates momentary mirages by
"floating" a plane in or out, depending upon the spectator's
viewpoint. This kind of surface lighting also enhances the
effect of lightness of weight by clothing every mass with
diaphonous glitter, allowing it to merge with surrounding
space. In Wall Fall, both plain and brushed surfaces are
used, enabling us to consider directly their different
impacts.

�Like most sculpture which employs space as a positive
element of form, Simon's work is invariably environmental.
8 Meins,for examPle' actively engages wall and floor, forcing
[ them into complicity rather than allowing them to remain
! neutral. Even when the works are small, they are architec
tonically conceived — the Mazes like bridges, the Thrus
| like buildings. A Thru enlarged to the scale of Simon's Coal
! Street Park sculpture (see fig. 5) would provide us with
another level of experience by allowing us to enter it, but
[ even the small ones we see in the exhibition should be
’ explored from all possible angles.
Although similar materials, surfaces, and geometric
[shapes prevail in both Thrus and Mazes, the two series lead
' to opposing responses. The closed Thrus are experienced
i as interiors in which space has definite, but not always
! immediately comprehensible, volume and shape. The open
[■Mazes are experienced as totally visible exteriors inhabiting
endless space. They appear extroverted but somewhat
vulnerable, while the Thrus seem introverted but compar
atively invulnerable. Both sets of works are about
movement through space. In the Mazes, the tube itself is
the moving element, linear and open-ended. But in the
Thrus, the sculptured form becomes a channel for move
ment; curved or glancing planes define our journey. The
Mazes convey an order, clarity, and precision which verge
upon the militaristic, while the Thrus, for all their cleanness
of edge and surface, suggest the indefinite and the secretive.
As the most recent of Simon's works, the Thrus seem to
constitute a movement toward greater complexity and
introspection, a kind of reductivist turning from the
classical to the romantic.
The cool adjoins the playful. The clear confronts the
enigmatic. Clean, precisionist forms become animated and
dramatic. Rationalist restraints are surmounted by the
idiosyncratic and unpredictable. Addressing the contem
porary sculptural concerns of minimalist form, serial
development, and environmentalism, Simon demonstrates
again that one can work within the seemingly limited and
rigid system of geometric abstraction, while retaining a
distinctive and highly personal style.
