Interior text and illustration pages appear unmarked. Inspired as a child by the power and beauty of bronze, and particularly equestrian, sculpture, Ralph Sketch gained early instruction and encouragement to "make a horse". While living in London, England he visited the studio of Adrian Jones, the celebrated British sculptor who, along with Frederic Remington, became one of his ideals. Many years later, after success in the insurance business, he turned his hobby into a second career as a sculptor. In this unique book, he describes in words and photographs, the lost wax process of bronze sculpture. A lover of horses, his small bronzes, capture with whimsy and truth, a broad range of equestrian activities, including hunting, racing and show jumping. Ralph Sketch created the McKee Trophy given for the international jumping competition held during Toronto's Royal Winter Fair. An enthusiastic student of Canada's past, much of his work brings to life important, and sometimes, overlooked moments in our history. His historical bronzes, in corporate collections such as the Secord Candy Company, and in museums, parks and public buildings across the country, are a lasting legacy for all Canadians. Laid in is an 8 x 10 color photograph of a Bronze Equestrian statue in a Texas field with bookseller Don Pierce standing nearby. The picture was taken near Cleburne, Texas and no one seems to know how it got there but it probably was created by a local Cleburne artist. Pon, Doe - Cover Design (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. Foxing to textblock. Dustjacket is protected in mylar.; This welcome volume examines the use and meaning of equestrian statues in Archaic Greece, relying not only on a full catalog of the sculptures but also on the rich comparative material in the literary and archaeological remains. Previous works have either crowded this important material into a large study of all equestrian statues everywhere or else have examined only those few that belong to the Athenian Acropolis. It has therefore been difficult to characterize the style and distribution of this sculpture, let alone examine them within their cultural milieu. Mary Ann Eaverly carries out precisely these important tasks. The first half of the volume identifies the unique characteristics of equestrian statues as a type apart from other Archaic sculpture. The author places the sculptures within their historical and cultural context and considers critical factors such as cultic activity, aristocratic symbolism, and the influence of Peisistratos. The second half of the volume is a catalog that discusses all the extant pieces individually. Archaic Greek Equestrian Sculpture will be of interest to students and scholars of Greek sculpture, the Greek artistic heritage, and the complex history of Archaic Greece.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 141 pages.…
