More than any other book that I can think of, Bronze Inside and Out
puts a human face on Western art - indeed, all art. It invites us
to ponder the very nature of the creative process. From the
foreword by Brian W. Dippie, University of Victoria Bronze Inside
and Out is a literary biography of sculptor Bob Scriver, written by
his wife, Mary Strachan Scriver. Bob Scriver is best known for his
work in bronze and for his pivotal role in the rise of "cowboy
art." Living and working on the Montana Blackfeet Reservation,
Scriver created a bronze foundry, a museum, and a studio - an
atelier based on classical methods, but with local Blackfeet
artisans. His importance in the still-developing genre of "western
art" cannot be overstated. Mary Strachan Scriver lived and worked
with Boba Scriver for over a decade and was instrumental in his
rise to international acclaim. Working alongside her husband, she
became intimately familiar with the man, his work, and his process.
Her frank, uncensored, and highly entertaining biography reveals
details that give the reader a unique picture of Scriver both as
man and as artist. Bronze Inside and Ou t also provides a
fascinating look into the practice of bronze casting, cleverly
structuring the story of Bob Scriver's life according to the steps
in this complicated and temperamental process.
