Benjamin Victor

Benjamin Victor is a modern sculptor keeping the classical tradition alive as the Classical Realist painters are. He has the distinction of having three of his sculptures in National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol building, and he is working on his fourth. I am gratified that one of his statues (located in the Statuary Hall) is of the great Norman Borlaug. His website shows dozens of his works: he is quite prolific.

"Victor’s first work to receive attention was a life-size statue of the biblical character Samson, sculpted when the artist was a sophomore art major at Northern State University. The piece earned Victor a scholarship "in recognition of his aesthetic and conceptual integrity" from the prestigious National Sculpture Society in New York City. At age 23, Victor was commissioned to produce his proposal of a trio of soldiers for the Aberdeen Regional Airport War Memorial in South Dakota." (Source: Wikipedia)
