About the Item
In “Flight in Attitude”, the clean lines of the dancer’s form suggest purity and strength. With fingers elegantly outstretched and back arched, she is the embodiment of athletic perfection and artistic refinement. Soaring with the effortless grace of a true ballerina, “Flight in Attitude,” truly captures a dancer’s movement and ethereally takes flight. Lithe and strong, with discipline and perfection evident from her pointed toe to her expressively outstretched hand, Richard MacDonald reveals the essence of dance. Signed by the artist.

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.

Bronze Sculpture -- J' Accuse
Located in Troy, NY
This beautiful bronze shows a figure in place on top of a tall wooden base. The sculpture itself depicts a graceful nude standing, his right hand in a fist close to the body and his left arm pointing up high with his index finger. The action might be described as full of force and determination. Near the bottom of the wooden base is a copper plaque with the title of the piece "J'accuse," a phrase containing historical connotations, including that of the Dreyfus affair.
