Athletics / Sports
A deep understanding of the anatomy of the body in motion gave Richard MacDonald early success as a sports illustrator, and that innate ability has been further honed until his sculptures of athletic subjects are some of his most celebrated. “The Flair” a gymnast driven by the determination to feats of strength and excellence, or the golfer of the U.S Open Monument perfecting his swing—these are the subjects that carry forward Richard MacDonald’s reputation as an artist who understands the nature of athletic achievement.

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.
