Given after-hours access to raw materials, industrial air compressors, and large kilns at the Ferro Enamel Corporation in Cleveland, he pioneered works of impressive design and scale. His Plaque: Mexico is a lyrical abstracted landscape populated by calla lilies and butterflies. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS H. Edward Winter Entry Card to 1940 May Show.
