Courage
"Courage is the first virtue that makes all other virtues possible”. Aristotle, 5th C, BC. Since time immemorial, courage has been recognized as the well-spring of all that is good in the human endeavor: without courage, there would be no new ideas, no risks taken, no creative force worth pursuing. By celebrating courage as it is expressed by the human form, Richard MacDonald is tapping into one of the central themes in art.

The Artist's Touch
Richard MacDonald’s method of working by directly observing a living model is becoming increasingly rare amongst artists of our time. Developing the sensitivity and facility to watch a person in motion and capture anatomy, movement, mood, and personality in clay is an extraordinarily complex and demanding task, yet the quality of the work speaks to the vitality, energy, and power made possible by this experience.
