Abraham Lincoln Bronze Bust “Immortal Conscience” by James Nance, circa 1994

About the Item

This is a exceptional, limited-edition bronze bust, cast in Loveland, Colorado of President Abraham Lincoln entitled "Immortal Conscience." James J. Nance is a portrait sculptor who has for 35 years developed his artistic skills and reputation from studios in Minneapolis Minnesota and Loveland Colorado. His expressive and accurate portrait commissions in terra cotta and bronze have received enthusiastic acclaim and have been acquired by both public and private collections. Institutional placements of his Lincoln project, "A Portrait of Transition: Prairie Lawyer and Immortal Conscience", include the Lincoln-Herndon Law Office Illinois State Historic Site, Springfield Illinois; The Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Springfield, Illinois; and the Lincoln Museum, Ft. Wayne, Indiana; The University of Tennessee Knoxville College of Law. Jim was born in Dallas and grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where, inspired by his exposure to western artists such as Remington and Russell, he developed an early interest in painting and sculpture. However, his love for aviation led him first to a career as a pilot. After graduating from the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1971, he served a five year tour of duty as an Air Force pilot, including service in Viet Nam. Later, during the oil pipeline construction, Jim worked as a bush pilot in Alaska and then accepted a job with Hughes Air West Airlines. Several mergers later he ended up with Northwest Airlines where he was a senior international Captain before retiring early in 2007. The photo on the left is from his retirement flight with Mt St Helens and Mt Rainier in the background. Jim has always felt that the human face is the window to the soul, so it isn't surprising that he was naturally drawn to the field of portrait sculpture. His interests and talents however aren't limited to portraiture; he has continued to develop his skill in figure sculpture and in 1989 won first place in the week long prestigious Johnston International Live Figure Sculpture competition, sponsored annually by the International Sculpture Center of Washington D.C. This achievement led to a "Artist in Residence" position at the Smithsonian National Gallery and a six month study grant at the Uffizi Museum in Florence Italy. In 1994, Jim and his wife Jeanne, moved to Loveland Colorado, to establish a studio and take advantage of the thriving artistic climate and the proximity to several of America's finest bronze art foundries. The edition size of this 50 pound bronze casting is 35.
