About the Item
"Adam Maquette" by Frederick Hart is a figurative female and male figure bronze sculpture with the edition number 116/350.
“Adam is Everyman, pulled from the waters of baptism, concrete and universal, led by the fire of day by night, and the cloud of night by day — triumphing over the powers of darkness-emergent radiant in light.”After “Ex Nihilo” and “Adam” were carved into Indiana limestone, the original plasters of the work were returned to Frederick Hart’s studio where it remains to this day. It was there that molds were taken for these Figures and Fragments.That being said, the “Adam, Fragment” was cast directly from the original plaster of the full-scale “Adam.”
Every tool mark, every exquisite detail, every powerful gesture, every nuance into the understanding of the divine act of creation was the hand of Frederick Hart.

Frederick Hart
A sculptor and stone cutter in the Classical* style, Frederick Hart was an apprentice at the National Cathedral in Washington DC and there learned about sculpting and stone cutting. Then his big break of public recognition came when he won a competition to design the facade of the Cathedral, which incorporated his thirteen year masterpiece of the Creation, a 21 X 15 foot bas relief*. He also designed Three Soldiers, realistic in style, for the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in DC to contrast with the abstraction of Maya Lin's Vietnam Memorial. Born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised in South Carolina, Frederick Hart was an opponent of most contemporary art, thinking it motivated by political rather than aesthetic reasons. As a proponent of Realism*, he was made an honorary member of The American Society of Classical Realism Guild of Artists. Just before his premature death from lung cancer in 1999, he built his 17,000 square-foot dream home "Chesley," on 250 acres of land in Virginia. This mansion was intended to be an artists' retreat to nourish traditional, classical values and refute modernist* trends that he said allowed anything to be called art. He endured several legal battles including the use of his Three Soldiers on a souvenir without his permission and a lawsuit with Time-Warner over the "demonizing" of his creation scene.
