Paul Wegner: PAUL WEGNER is the foremost American artist to use theme music, especially jazz and the blues, in his bronze sculptures. He is one of the country's most successful figurative artists and an inventor of the fragmented style, in which only highlights of a composition are present, with the open or negative spaces implying "what is absent." The fragmented style is especially effective in Wegner's works because the positive/negative relationships create visual rhythms like the rhythms of music.
