About the Item
Richard MacDonald’s “Cheetah, Bust” reveals an intimate study of “Samburu”, the two and a half year old Nambian cheetah the artist used as the subject for his “Diana and the Coursing Cheetahs” series. While much art is created with purpose and intent, “Cheetah Bust” was created through the process of exploration. There are times when the sole intention is merely to discover what may come of the creative process. As MacDonald states, “Sometimes I am just composing with no particular purpose other than to explore the medium, subject, feeling and form.” Becoming visually and physically aware of all aspects of his subject by sculpting from life, MacDonald employs texture and patina to realistically depict the tear marks, solid black spots, and mane – all qualities which are unique to the African cheetah.

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.
