About the Item
"Brazilian Feathers" does not spring from the refined world of ballet, but from the elemental, tribal rhythms of a far earlier form of dance. Bedecked with the feathers of exotic birds, this dancer conjures images of the type of dance performed barefoot around a communal fire; primitive and unrestrained. Plumed, masked, and powerful, she communicates energy and freedom, and demonstrates again that Richard MacDonald can convey the excitement of movement like no other. From an edition of 12.

Richard MacDonald
There are artists and there are masters. Richard MacDonald will go down in the history of sculpture as Picasso did painting, as an unequivocal master of the art.
Only a number of people can master craftsmanship, far fewer, the art of the human form. Figurative sculpture is a language MacDonald speaks with astounding fluency, and as with any language, MacDonald’s creative drive is formed from a need to share the universal dialect of the human figure with those who understand it; this is the unique privilege the artist affords his viewers.
MacDonald captures the beauty, romance and essence of the human spirit in motion. Influenced by the expressiveness in the figures of Renaissance master Donatello, the emotional intensity of works by 19th century French sculptor Auguste Rodin, and the power of Michelangelo’s sculptures, MacDonald’s inspirational, sensitive works are precisely of the moment, yet profoundly historic by reference. And they dance rhythmically for all to see — in the leap and grace of the dancer, the power of the athlete, the gesture and passion of lovers, the spirit rises, and MacDonald captures it.
