As Punch so well shows, watch your back Felipe! Alfred Gilbert who I have mentioned before is one of my favourite sculptors. Not all his work is to my liking; however Eros had a special place in my heart, long before I started my career as a sculptor or considered its aesthetic merits in detail. […]

Happy New Year.In my continuing search for Great Sculpture of all time (see link on the right), I had rather discounted, an American Sculptor, Frederick William MacMonnies, 1863-1937 known for such horrors as this in the Metropolitan!But I was pleasantly surprised to discover that in Brooklyn New York there is a triumphal Arch not unlike […]

Chicago and The North of England

By sculptor on December 13, 2007 in Art History, sculptor

So what is it about Art that connects Chicago and the North of England? A couple of years ago a stone sculpture was stolen from a country house in the North of England and eventually turned up in an Art Dealers in Chicago. Now we hear that The Art Institute of Chicago was sold a […]
