Having moved and setup many of Dr. Russell’s bronzes, they certainly do have an immortal quality to them. Of course, the life of the sculpture is in the eyes, the spirit, and, if captured—brings the work of art alive.
I read somewhere that if humanity were to vanish, tens of thousands of years from now, one of the only surviving things from our civilization would be its bronze sculptures. Pretty wild to think about.

Nice article Mr. Post.
Thank you Matt!

I’m actually more curious as to how they mined/accumulated so much copper to achieve these surreal works of art. Fascinating, thx for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed the article. That is an interesting question. I will have to look further into it!
