Genre
Joie de Vivre
Historically, it is rare to see an expression of joy in sculpture: capturing the positive emotions of happiness, freedom, joy, and laughter present the greatest challenge to a figurative artist. Richard MacDonald crossed that threshold boldly, early in his career, with Joie de Vivre, and showed us that such complex, fleeting, elusive emotions can be celebrated in figurative art through this collection.

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.
