David Pearson: The Path of a Sculptor

David Pearson's sculptures reside in a land of perfect beings--beautifully stylized, elongated and infused with a serene, otherworldly calmness. They seem to personify the unseen realm of guardians, angels, and spirits. Pearson counts among his influences Modigliani, Picasso, and Archipenko. This book includes fascinating interviews with Pearson's contemporaries: Terry Allen, Eli Leven, Doug Coffin, and others. Wolf Schneider invites you into Pearson's world--his studio and his influences, his spirituality, his relationship with fellow sculptors, and his philosophy of opening his sphere of experience to include ancient cultures and mysteries.

This beautiful book explores David Pearson's early years as a teenage apprentice residing at the Shidoni Foundry in Tesuque, New Mexico, and his rise to become one of the most successful and unique bronze artists today.
