It becomes apparent when viewing a retrospective collection of Wein’s work that he has always been under the strong influence of organic shapes and forms. He first began with the human figure and in more recent times has been involved with the essence of simplicity and the dignity of natural forms as points of departure for his work. Four to five years ago he became conscious of the design quality of animal bones, an influence similar to that experienced by Henry Moore.
