Richard MacDonald
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. Figurative sculpture is a language MacDonald speaks with astounding fluency, and as with any language, MacDonald’s creative drive is formed from a need to share the universal dialect of the human figure with those who understand it; this is the unique privilege the artist affords his viewers.
MacDonald captures the beauty, romance and essence of the human spirit in motion. 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. And they dance rhythmically for all to see — in the leap and grace of the dancer, the power of the athlete, the gesture and passion of lovers, the spirit rises, and MacDonald captures it.

View AllThe Gathering of Graces, Quarter Life
By Richard MacDonald
Located in Laguna Beach, CA
Greek mythology records the Three Graces, considered the fairest daughters of Zeus and Eurynome, as representatives of the blessings of nature. Followers believed that each spring, their fertility dance caused seeds to sprout and flowers to bloom. On another creative level, the young goddesses were believed to influence artistic achievement. While Boticelli’s expression of the soft, linear forms inherent in the Three Graces influenced the rebirth of classical mythology, Richard MacDonald is inspired to foster the renaissance of figurative art with his own interpretation of “grace.” Employing the classical tradition of undulating lines, precise contour and soft, fair forms, MacDonald created first his masterpiece “The Three Graces” followed by an exploration into the personae of each of the three sisters, Agalia, Euphrosyne and Thalia. In "The Gathering of the Graces...
