- Prix de West is the nation’s premier Western art exhibition and sale showcasing original works ranging from historical depictions of the American West to more contemporary and impressionistic pieces.
A founding member of the National Academy of Western Art (NAWA), Fraughton’s latest monumental achievements include: his portion of the 10-year, 5-city block long Pioneer Courage Monument project located in Omaha, Nebraska, and a 20-foot high The Ancient Ones Monument (enlarged from his 1977 NAWA Gold Medal Anasazi) for the new museum and visitor’s center at Mesa Verde National Park near Cortez, Colorado. To commemorate the American West’s contribution to today’s modern skiing industry, his latest heroic monument, A Man To Match My Mountains, a 14-foot-high monumental tribute to Dick Bass, native Texan, legendary mountain-climber, skier and co-founder of Snowbird Ski Resort in Utah, stands proudly against his tall mountains. Fraughton’s current work is focused on a conceptual model for an epic religious monument portraying the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Considering himself fortunate to have studied sculpture from traditional masters who emphasized classic design, human and animal anatomy, Fraughton has never stopped learning and teaching. Mentoring various workshops and briefly serving on the Board of the National Sculpture Society, he helped launch a new online New Masters Academy of Fine Arts and currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Beaux Arts Academy of Utah.
Very good!!!
What an interesting discussion from one of the greatest sculptors alive! To see Mr Faughton's work in person is to experience first hand his genius -- a perfect blend of form , action, and substance. His work comes alive and is nuanced beautifully and can really only be experienced live. He is truly a freat example of what Aristotle explained in his Poetics ... transcendental form and mimesis. His work is for the ages. Thank you elevating this art form and for everything you do Mr Fraughton.
