About the Item
CHARLES CARY RUMSEY, born in Buffalo, NY in 1879. His interest in sculpture appeared and was encouraged at an early age. The most significant encouragement came when the boy was taken by his parents to Paris in 1893.
After graduating from Harvard in 1902, Rumsey returned to Paris where he took a studio in the Latin Quarter and enrolled and the Julian and Colarossi Academies. One professor, Emmanuel Fremiet, a specialist in equestrian statuary, devoted special emphasis to the study of the horse, and his training was to have a decisive influence on the young Rumsey. Apart from sculpture, horses were the great passion of his life. He was a superb rider and a world-class polo champion.
Rumsey’s specialties included equestrian sculptures – portraits of polo players and prize horses, as well as of cowboys, cattle and horses as metaphors. He worked principally in bronze and stone, often employing mythology and historical themes articulated in private commissions for freestanding statuary and in public monuments. His 40-foot bas relief panels of Indians, horses and buffalos for the Manhattan Bridge and the heroic subject matter of Rice Stadium commission are examples.
Rumsey was an 8 goal polo player with Meadowbrook polo club on LI NY. His work remains in the permanent collection of most major museums in the world including the The Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC, Museum of Modern Art NYC, Beaux Arts Center Paris France, Cody Museum Wyoming, Burchfield Art Center Buffalo NY.
His work has been represented by Lynda Anderson Gallieries since 1992. The gallery maintains the largest collection of works available by the artist.
