Bronze and Wood

Modern abstract figurative sculpture of a nude woman by the artist James Kearns. The work features a reclining female figure with long flowing hair relaxing and eating grapes. Signed by the artist in the cast on the back of the pillow the woman is leaning on. Mounted on a wooden base for easy display.

Kearns views his primary subject matter, the human figure, as an embodiment of the human spirit. A sculptor who works in fiberglass, and a painter as well, Kearns seeks to portray ​“Man as Total Man — the Tragic, Complex and Joyful Man.” Kearns received a B.F.A. in 1950 from the Art Institute of Chicago and held a factory job for ten years to support his family. He has devoted a major portion of his time to teaching; since 1959 he has been an instructor at the School of Visual Arts in New York and has also taught at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey and at the Skowhegan School of Art in Maine.
