About the Artist: Born in 1946 in Pasadena, California, Richard MacDonald graduated from Art Center College where he was classically trained. From this beginning, he became a self-taught sculptor who has spent the last 50 years reviving the lost art of figurative sculpture through innovation, passion, and intense commitment. The creation of an extensive body of singularly original works in bronze has brought his name to prominence. An illustrious career with many awards, honors, and public monuments marks Richard MacDonald as one of the leading contemporary figures internationally in the field of contemporary sculpture.
In his Monterey studio, Richard MacDonald has given himself an artistic space to create. As a true visionary, he has synthesized modernist principles with the timeless human desire to create imaginative metaphors of the human psyche through representation of the body. Whether as a public monument or treasured in private collections, each bronze by Richard MacDonald is part of an enduring legacy that brings figurative sculpture into the 21st century.

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.
