Conceived early in Richard MacDonalds career, the ideas involving three carefree figures of seemingly enchanted origin continue to stir the artists imagination. Joie de Vivre, expressed as three figures playing a trumpet, a horn, and a flute, as they dance with the exuberance of child-like joy, has become emblematic of the artists sincere belief that life should be lived with a sense of freedom and a light heart. 

 

As accomplished in painting and drawing as he is in sculpture, Richard MacDonald’s graphic collection adds an interesting dimension to our understanding of the artist. Sensitive and direct, the markings of charcoal or the washes of color capture moments of the artist’s experience that give us a window onto his imaginative processes. These are companions to the creation of the sculptures for which he is acclaimed, and the stand alone as a remarkable testament to the full range of his artistic vision.
