"Fiesta Song" Accordion Player
John Bennett (Born 1952)
John Bennett was designated Texas State Artist 2010 by the 81st Texas Legislature. He began figural sculpting in 1976 and continued to develop his God-given talent as an artist, exhibiting with honors in juried art shows, museums, and galleries.
"I am deeply attracted to the beauty of people and their performance in life. I see romance in line and strength, balance and movement, and that's what I pursue in my work. I strive for essentials, but enhance emotion, and hope the finished piece can project its own soul, beyond just an image frozen in space and time."
“...acclaimed for his sculptures of women, John has created works depicting women from all walks of life, from Old West legend Annie Oakley to 98-year-old Alice Reeves, a former schoolteacher and granddaughter of a slave; one of his pieces was selected by the Women’s Museum for display at the White House in 1999” - Joint resolution by the 81st Texas Legislature, 2009
