About the Item

Kathleen Friedenberg began her professional career as a veterinary surgeon in England, and came to the United States, on a Thouron scholarship, studying human and equine orthopaedics at the University of Pennsylvania. Following marriage, and study at a commercial art school, she spent several years doing medical and veterinary illustration, including illustrating three books. Sculpting began at night school, but soon became a full-time occupation. Further study with Zenos and Evangelos Frudakis resulted in a more structured and classical approach, and her veterinary background gives her unexcelled understanding of animal anatomy and movement. Horses are the favourites, in a wide range of human and animal subjects. She is actively involved with the American Academy of Equine Art, being a Vice-President and Director of Education, and conducting an annual workshop of equestrian sculpture, under their auspices, at The Kentucky Horse Park, since their teaching programs began in 1992. In 2003 she taught the first of the Academy's workshops at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine at New Bolton Center. Winning the Academy's "Award of Excellence" for three consecutive years, AND MORE, as judged by fellow equestrian artists, was a special achievement. In 2002 and 2003, she also taught classes, in sculpture of the horse, at the Scottsdale Artist's School in Arizona. Kathleen is a member of various other art groups, including the Society of Animal Artists and the National Sculpture Society, winning numerous awards, including Medal of Honor at both Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club and the American Artists Professional League, in New York. Her work has appeared on the cover of The Chronicle of the Horse over twenty times, and she was featured in Equine "Images" magazine in the Fall 1989 issue, "Spur" magazine in July/August 1996, Kentucky Horse Park's magazine, "Discover Horses", Fall/Winter, 2003, "Hunt" magazine in 2004 and "Horses in Art" magazine, Summer 2008, as well as various other publications. She was selected to appear in Daphne S. Landis' beautiful new book, "Speaking for Themselves - The Artists of Southeastern Pennsylvania."

Fox Hound After the Hunt, Bronze Sculpture by Charles Rumsey
By Charles Rumsey
Located in Brookville, NY
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 an excellent horseman and an 8 goal polo player with Meadowbrook Polo Club Long Island NY. 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. The estate of Charles Rumsey...
