About the Item
The Flutist, Atelier was inspired by Richard MacDonald’s signature Heroic work, Joie de Vivre - the "joy of life." Drawing on his own belief in the irrepressible will of the human spirit Richard MacDonald composed a trio of dancing figures, and made a statement about humanity and his own artistic vision that has served as the iconic image of his entire career. Every glimpse of the Flutist in your home will remind you to listen to the unique music of your own spirit, and live with joy.

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.
