ABOUT THE ARTIST
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. 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.
