Mid-Century Bronze Bust Sculpture on Stone & Concrete Base signed Khalil Gibran

About the Item

This compelling mid-century modernist bronze bust sculpture, crafted by the American artist Khalil Gibran around 1950, stands as a testament to the era's artistic innovation. The bust rests on a rectilinear base composed of stone and concrete, juxtaposing the organic forms of the sculpture with a stark, architectural foundation. Gibran's signature is elegantly inscribed, adding a touch of authenticity and personal connection to this uniquely modern piece. The bronze bust captures a contemplative expression, reflecting both the skill and the emotional depth of the artist's work. An impressive example of mid-century art, this sculpture blends classical themes with modernist principles. Its robust materials and thoughtful composition make it a striking statement piece suitable for collectors and enthusiasts of mid-century modern design. Whether displayed in a home, office, or gallery, this sculpture commands attention and invites reflection. Signed by the artist, and in Excellent Vintage Condition.

Bronze Bust Sculpture Att. Will Rogers on Green Stone Base by Leonard McMurry
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
A large striking bronze bust sculpture of a man with the likeness of Will Rogers. This piece was created by Leonard McMurry, also known as Oklahoma’s “Michelangelo”. It stands on a green marbled stone square base. The sculpture depicts a man, with an extreme likeness to Will Rogers. The man has combed hair, which is parted to one side. The sculpted bronze bust has a fabulous patina, and the square green stone it is affixed to is marbled with fantastic greens, blacks, and creams. About the Artist: Leonard McMurry, (1913–2008) - McMurry is best known for his bronzes, which are primarily figurative, in many venues, from Oklahoma City to St. Louis to New York City. In 1941 his work received Honorable Mention in the Prix de Rome competition. In 1952 his work was included in the National Sculpture Society show in New York. Among his works in Oklahoma are The 89er, at the Oklahoma City Civic Center, The Legend of the Great Westerner (informally called "Buffalo Bill") at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, and Healing Hands, at the City of Faith Hospital/Oral Roberts University in Tulsa. (which at the time was the largest casting in the world.) For the 1982 Diamond Jubilee of Oklahoma statehood, McMurry completed a series of twenty-one busts of Oklahoma's governors. He also created fourteen busts for the National Hall of Fame for American Indians in Anadarko. Leonard McMurry died in 2008. Born to a family of prominent cotton farmers in the Texas panhandle, McMurry moved to Oklahoma in 1955 and studied under the sculptor's Carl Mose and Ivan Mestrovic...
