Wildlife and Western Heroes, Peter H. Hassrick

Despre carte

"Professor Hassrick presents here the first comprehensive monograph on Proctor and the story of his adventure in art, one that unfolds over a period of nearly seventy years. Heavily illustrated in color and duotone, this volume presents the full range of Proctor''s oeuvre, including monumental and studio sculptures, plaster and clay maquettes, and drawings. A series of seven essays cover the key influences and major achievements of Proctor''s career, while the main catalogue section presents 52 of Proctor''s most important works and includes both major monumental pieces, like the Buffalo for the Q Street Bridge in Washington, D.C. (1913), and the massive Mustangs at the University of Texas, Austin (1948), as well as smaller studio pieces such as his Indian Warrior (1900-02) and Panther (1922-23). The volume also features rare archival and studio images and personal recollections of the artist''s son and grandson."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
