Book excerpt: Frederick Hart's sculpture is at once traditional in its adherence to the importance of the human figure, and radical in its sensuality and innovative use of materials. This publication is a comprehensive look into the life and talent of a classical sculptor, whose passion for the spiritual and figurative aspects of his craft is represented in both his public commissions and private work. Daughters of Odessa, one of Hart's masterworks, is traced from its first inspiration to the final bronze. The Creation Sculptures, which grace the west facade of Washington National Cathedral, are explored in an in-depth analysis of his epic interpretation of Creation. Hart's public monuments including Three Soldiers at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial are brought to life through the artist's own writings. Additionally, new works are comprehensively explored, building from the previous book, Frederick Hart, Sculptor (1994), now in its fifth printing. 12 colour & 83 b/w illustrations
