Museu Europeu d’Art Modern
This prestigious museum was founded in 2003 showcase contemporary figurative art in both painting and sculpture: sculpture featuring prominently. As an outgrowth of Richard MacDonald’s work in London, where he focused intensively on the Royal Ballet, the artist was invited to show a 25-year retrospective of his work at the Museu Europeu d’Art Modern in Barcelona. This European Museum promoted the exhibition of the celebrated American sculptor and referred to him as a “genius” of figurative sculpture.

The Artist's Touch
Richard MacDonald’s method of working by directly observing a living model is becoming increasingly rare amongst artists of our time. Developing the sensitivity and facility to watch a person in motion and capture anatomy, movement, mood, and personality in clay is an extraordinarily complex and demanding task, yet the quality of the work speaks to the vitality, energy, and power made possible by this experience.
