About the Item

John Bennett (Born 1952) Fredericksburg, Texas Artist Image Size: 26 x 12 x 8 Medium: Bronze Sculpture "La Dolce Vita" The Sweet Life! 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 Major Purchases and Awards: 1994 to 2019 • Annual Purchase by Friends of Fair Park, Spirit of the Centennial Award (bronze sculpture) • Dallas, Texas 2015 • Ruby Stevens portrait figure, The Perry & Ruby Stevens Charitable Foundation • Kerrville, Texas. 2014 • Perry Stevens portrait figure, The Perry & Ruby Stevens Charitable Foundation • Kerrville, Texas. 2013 • Best of Show • Texas Hill Country Invitational Art Show • Boerne, Texas. 2012 • Best of Show • Texas Hill Country Invitational Art Show • Boerne, Texas. 2012 • John Bily portrait bust, Partners in Building, LLC • Houston, Texas 2011 • Best of Show - American Plains Artists, Art of the Plains Juried Exhibit • Las Cruces, New Mexico. 2010 • Best of Show, Sculpture • Museum of Western Art Round Up 2010 • Kerrville, Texas. 2009 • Designated Texas State Artist 2010, by joint resolution of the 81st Texas Legislature • Austin, Texas 2009 • People’s Choice Award • Texas Wild Bunch Professional Artists • Kerrville, Texas. 2008 • Best of Show • Hill Country Invitational Art Show, Cibolo Arts Council • Boerne, Texas. 2008 • Lifesize bronze of Alice Reeves and Great-granddaughter for the Friends of the Leesburg Library • Leesburg, Florida. 2007 • Solo Exhibit, Artist of the Month - The Museum of Western Art • Kerrville, Texas. 2007 • Lifesize bronze of Annie Oakley and Dave, her dog, for the Friends of the Leesburg Library - 2007 • Received Key to the City by the Mayor of Leesburg Florida, 2003 • Lifesize bust of Vera McGinnis • National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame • Ft.
