Mom’s Mid-century Modern

Posted on April 6, 2006 by Alicia Bay Laurel in Blog.

My mother, Verna Lebow Norman, has sculpted prolifically, beginning in her mid-teens in the 1930’s. Mostly, she has worked in clay, but, in the ‘40’s and ‘50’s, she carved wood often as well. Her mid-century modern pieces intrigue me especially, even after having known them almost all of my life.
