Label TextPeter Grippe was among the young artists who founded American Abstract Artists (AAA) in 1936, but unlike many of his AAA counterparts in this gallery, he is best known for his sculptural work. He frequently experimented with the latest avant-garde styles, from Cubism and Futurism to Surrealism, as embodied in Symbolic Figure I.Published ReferencesBreuning, Margaret, "Grippe's Divergent Aspects," Art Digest, vol. 20, November 1, 1945, p. 35.Exhibition HistoryNew York, Willard Gallery, September 1945, no. 109.
