Some of the most significant sculptures of the twentieth century were made by painters. Works by Picasso, Matisse, David Smith, and Ellsworth Kelly are well recognized examples. After seeing the big show of George Segal’s work at Rutgers, I felt that he belongs in this category of painter-sculptors.
