Featured in this lot is a bronze sculpture called "Pride," from artist Jim Gruzalski who was born in 1938. The sculpture features a wonderfully and professionally crafted bronze construction of a bust of a Native American man standing regal with two features in his hair and a braid with some pipe stone necklace adorning his neck. The bust is marked as follows: Gruzalski - 5/30 - "Pride". From Tucson, Arizona sculptor James Gruzalski has devoted his talents to portraying historic figures, animals, and the American Indian, showing their inherent strength and spirit. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and then took classes in sculpture and industrial design at the University of Illinois. His style is realistic, and his sensitivity in sculpting faces is recognized by medical professionals, some whom have hired Gruzalski to execute facial models for use in facial reconstructive surgery. He holds patents for several medical inventions and orthopedic devices. The condition of this bronze sculpture bust is good with no obvious signs of damage and shows good overall condition.
