On this sixth anniversary of the death of Points of View’s farm manager, we have learned of a wonderful remembrance of Ranee in a distant city. During August, September and October, hundreds of Philadelphians flocked to an outdoor art exhibit where they saw a huge sculpture named Spellman. It was one of 25 sculptures chosen from 332 entries for this year’s show, entitled “Altered Sites”. The annual show has become one of Philadelphia’s major summer art events and is held in Fairmont Park’s arboretum.
Spell man’s creator, Fritz Dietel, knew Ranee only briefly in the year before his death. He represented the Dietel family, then newly moved to Rappahannock County at Ranee’s funeral. Later, Fritz completed his art education and became a full-time sculptor living in Philadelphia.
The massive (10 feet tall by 12 feet wide by 16 feet long) work is made of painted wood constructed into two interlocking, pleated, curved walls in the shape of a split “S”. The colors, in high gloss enamel, range from blacks and purples to reds and brilliant yellow and whites; the pleats are sharply defined.
