Offered in this lot is a Clark Bronson bronze, white tail deer bust on a wooden stand. This bronze is signed and dated 1980 on the back of the deer's neck. Bronson was born in Kamas, Utah, in 1939. He attended the University of Utah. In 1960, he started working for the Utah Fish and Game Department, illustrating wildlife and big game. By 1969, he was recognized as one of the leading wildlife painters in America. In about 1970, he abandoned painting for sculpting. With the completion of his first sculpture, it became evident that the precision and realism for which his paintings were so known was to take on even greater form and freedom in his work as a sculptor. Collectors began buying entire series as fast as they became available. In less than five years, Clark's wildlife bronze sculptures became widely collected throughout the world. Harry Horswell of the Tryon Gallery in London said, “Clark Bronson is the greatest wildlife sculptor since the nineteenth century.” The bronze is 5 1/2" tall, 4" wide, and 4" deep. The wooden stand is made of three round disks, 1" tall each, and a 6 3/4" tall 2 1/2" X 2 1/4" pillar that the head is mounted on. This piece is in very good condition.
