Deflected Jets
Deflected Jets is a public artwork by American artist Guido Peter Brink located on the Fire Engine Company #29 grounds, which is at 3529 South 84th Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the United States.Commissioned in 1987 and installed the following year, the work consists of a stainless steel abstract form atop a red brick base, to which a placard is affixed.[2] After the war ended, Brink became a landscape painter and emigrated to New York City with his wife Ello; he spent 1952 studying with a fellowship at the Académie des Beaux-Arts Matiers d'Art in Paris.[2] When the school closed in 1974, Brink delved into three-dimensional work, taking advantage of Milwaukee's great wealth of fabricating and manufacturing plants."[4] Brink's work can be found in public and private collections throughout the world, including outside Lapham Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and in the Tory Folliard Gallery in Milwaukee's Third Ward.
