Two Lines In Oblique, Variation 3 by George Rickey
George Rickey, (1907-2002), was a great American master of Kinetic Art, art which incorporates motion as part of its expression. The two arms of this piece gracefully turn in response to even the slightest breeze, creating an ever-changing composition. Rickey first became interested in engineering and mechanics while serving in the U.S.Army Air Corp in World War II. After the war, he studied at the Chicago Art Institute on the G.I. Bill and developed a geometric style.
