Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959)
CRISTA, Heloise (1926 - 2018
Heloise Crista had been studying Applied Arts at UCLA when she discovered and read Frank Lloyd Wright's An Autobiography. Drawn by the warmth, beauty and spirit of his work she moved to Taliesin to study his philosophy and architecture, and to become part of the Taliesin Fellowship. Unexpectedly, the following years were spent largely in dance and costume design for the Taliesin Festivals of Music and Dance.
In 1956 she made a bust of Frank Lloyd Wright, her first recognized sculptural work. It was not until 1978, however, that Crista made the decision to become a sculptor and followed her own self-determined path toward that end. Crista's sculptures show her dance training in the strong flow and movement of her cast pieces. Her arresting works reflect her thoughts and concerns, and ideas of individual evolution. Primarily cast bronzes, her sculpture also includes those made of welded Cor-ten steel and fabricated sheet metal.)
