Morton Bradley's paper sculpture entitled "Lotus"

Art Exhibition: The World of Morton C. Bradley, Jr.

The geometric sculptures of Morton C. Bradley, Jr. (1912–2004) reflect his fascination with the science of color, admiration for traditional patterns, and exploration of mathematical designs. Inspired by the platonic solids, these works are steeped in geometric exploration, yet retain a whimsy and playfulness that arises from Bradley's investigation of color’s interaction with form. This special exhibit showcases some of his liveliest works.

> Space 101 (101 E. 6th St.), near the Lotus Arts Village
> Free
> More about the works of Morton C. Bradley, Jr.

Presented by the Indiana University Campus Art Collection, and provided with assistance by Space 101.
