[edit] Wikiproject California initial characterization

I have assigned this article a "Start-class" rating since it barely makes it above a stub in size and quality. I have assigned an importance of "mid" since Bufano was one of the leading sculptors to be recognized in California in the 20th century. Anlace 16:37, 22 October 2006 (UTC) He was also known for his cats, bears, and other animal sculptures with very smooth and undetailed lines. My family collected his small sculptures, books, serigraphs, etc. His ability to work with large stainless steel objects was a bit of a mystery. One of his large sculptures was made out of melted-down guns that were turned in to the police.
