Richard Macdonald (1946) is an artist based in California. He is known for his Contemporary Figurative sculptures and is part of the Realism movement. Macdonald was born in California and attended the Art Institute of Miami. Later, he attended the Los Angeles Art Center. He is classically trained as a painter and taught himself how to sculpt.
Macdonald is often recognized for his work as a bronze sculptor. Many of his sculptures depict athletes and performers, including the bronze sculptures Blind Faith and The Gymnast. In 1996, Macdonald created a sculpture for the 1996 Summer Olympics entitled The Flair.
Macdonald did not become a full-time sculptor until 1983. Prior to his sculpting career, he worked as an illustrator. Many of his illustrations were for the NBA and the NFL. He also did illustrations for the Olympics. However, after working as an illustrator for over 10 years, Macdonald was ready to try something new. While he had created sculptures out of clay, Macdonald had never used bronze. He learned the basics of bronze sculpting and created his first sculpture. He exhibited it in his gallery. The sculpture quickly sold and Macdonald continued growing his new career by taking on several major projects, such as creating a sculpture of Stephen F. Austin for the Texas sesquicentennial.
His work has been featured in several exhibitions, including one held at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and the National Parkinson Foundation exhibition. Macdonald has also taught at several institutes, including the Art Institute of Atlanta in Atlanta, GA. Macdonald actively participates in auctions and charities in an effort to raise money for various foundations, including the Boys and Girls Club and ChildHelp USA. Macdonald donated his sculpture Doves, Third Life to Celebrity Fight Night, an auction started to raise money for Parkinson''s disease research. The sculpture was sold for US $110,000.
