Description
Beautiful bronzetone aviation sculpture from the Michael Garman studio in Colorado Springs, CO. The base is dated 1988 with the sculptor’s signature. Michael Garman (1938-2021) . As a young adult, Garman journeyed to Mexico and then hitchhiked his way further south through Central and South America. Two years later, he had traveled all the way to Santiago, Chile where he talked his way for free into the School of Fine Arts. It was here that he discovered his talent for sculpting. When he returned to the United States, Garman continued his vagabond lifestyle in the run-down neighborhoods of Dallas, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Colorado Springs. Initially, he continued to create one-of-a-kind sculptures. After years spent as a real-life vagabond throughout North and South America, Michael Garman eventually settled in Colorado Springs in 1971. Michael’s sculptures, cityscapes, and street scenes are collected and displayed by businesses and individuals throughout the world. Included among these are former Presidents Bush and Reagan, Betty Ford, Rosalyn Carter, James Caan, Willie Nelson, Burt Reynolds, John Elway, and Colin Powell. His figures are frequently given as a piece of ?Americana? to foreign dignitaries and heads of state. Measures 13.25". Weighs 5 lbs.
