About the Item
In working his way through the Louvre, The Vatican and other historic art museums, Richard MacDonald is particularly engaged by the ancient pieces and the fragments that remain of them. His eye trains not so much on the preservation or the privation of this artistry but on the beauty of the pieces, which have become art forms in and of themselves. “The spontaneous fracturing of elements communicates completely different messages than they might have in their totality,” he said. “I am looking at an ancient form and yet, as I see it, it’s very contemporary. This has made me curious—what an important element for an artist—and fascinated with these forms and shapes as they are.” As MacDonald has discovered in "Repose Fragment, Marble Dust", a fallen sculpture can either shatter perspective or reveal the essence of an image.

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.
