Metal artist Victor Ries had his 100th birthday in October 2007. His works are rooted in the German tradition of fine craftsmanship and respect for materials. Mentored by famed international architect, Eric Mendelsohn he emigrated to America and became a founding member of the legendary Pond Farm artist collective and school located in Northern California. His work helped bring about a new direction in liturgical art developing in post war America. His work encompassed everything from fine jewelry to major 30′ high sculptures. At the time the documentary was filmed he was still working at 102 years old.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
