Soltes, Professorial Lecturer in Theology and Fine Arts at Georgetown University and former director of the B’nai B’rith Klutznick National Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. George Wardlaw has never allowed his work to stay confined by categories—his painting is sculptural, his sculpture is both painterly and architectural, his early small-scale metalsmithing resonate within his later gargantuan artworks. Wardlaw's work reflects art history in both its universal concerns and, in a varied array of works, in the questions that art history raises for contemporary Jewish artists. His work is a dazzling expression of diversely shaped identity and intensity.
