Sculptor: |
 |
Francis Barnum, veteran, historian and artist, does much more than just sculpt scenes from the Civil War. His chosen medium - three-dimensional metal sculpture - serves as a canvas to express his own feelings, and of those who have ever served their country. While he did not invent metal art sculpture of the Civil War, he has redefined the genre and has established the standards by which future sculptors will be judged. Through meticulous research and attention to detail, Barnum explores a spectrum of subjects from action-filled climaxes in well-known battles to the most personal and emotional moments of ordinary people as they struggled to answer their country's call to war. |
