About the Artist:
David Adickes is an esteemed American sculptor and artist, celebrated for his monumental public sculptures and artworks that pay homage to figures from American history and pop culture. Born in Huntsville, Texas, in 1927, Adickes has carved out an impressive career, leaving an indelible mark on the United States' public art scene over several decades.
Adickes' artistic journey was significantly shaped by his time studying under the renowned French artist Fernand Léger in Paris. This mentorship enriched Adickes' perspective and technique, infusing his work with a blend of Léger's bold, structural compositions and his own unique vision. This influence is evident in the scale and formality of his sculptures, which combine a sense of monumentalism with a deeply personal touch.
Among his most iconic works is the towering 67-foot statue of Sam Houston located in his hometown of Huntsville, which stands as one of the tallest statues of an American hero. Adickes is also famous for the "We Love Houston" sign and his series of giant busts of U.S. presidents, showcasing his ability to capture the essence of American identity in his art. Additionally, his creation of a park in Virginia that displayed these large presidential busts further cemented his reputation as a master of large-scale public art.

David Adickes was born in Huntsville, Texas in 1927 and graduated from Huntsville High School in 1943. Nearing the end of World War II, at age 17, he joined the U.S. Air Force and regularly traveled to France. “I always liked art and was always drawing in the margins of my book,” Adickes said. “But being in Paris where there are galleries and museums on every corner — as just a small town kid from Huntsville, Texas — that was my turning point.” After completing his service, Adickes returned to Huntsville and earned his bachelor’s degree from Sam Houston State University. He then studied art with artist Fernand Leger in France for two years before moving to Houston to open his own art school.
