On any given day, hundreds, if not thousands, pass by his sculptures throughout Salt Lake City. In fact, many residents could probably point out where they're located from a photo.
The sculptures are by Angelo Caravaglia, a longtime University of Utah professor. But he was much more than an educator, Caravaglia was also a mixed media sculptor, printmaker, and painter.
“He's touched most of the people that work in the state of Utah, and one way or another, either directly is their professor or through people that he taught then moved to other institutions,” said Brad Taylor, a former student of Caravaglia who is now chair of the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Utah.
“He was incredibly diverse,” Taylor said. “So he worked with all media and nobody would ever question his facility with wood and metal and clay.” Caravaglia not only influenced a whole generation of sculptors in over four decades of teaching, but also played a role in Salt Lake City’s growth as a city.
