N. Muir 1/15 PROVENANCE: Private collection, Highlands Ranch, Colorado. "Rescue Under Fire" depicts a youthful soldier coming to the aid of his older comrade. It is a symbol of the "changing of the guards" while also honoring the courage of both generations. Courage comes from the heart. In fact in Gaelic the word for courage and hope is the same. Heroism. "Man is not bound. . . ; the Purpose of Life itself. "Heroism" is standing up and producing your own Light of Understanding by casting out your fears. It is knowing and fulfilling our obligation to ourselves and our fellow man; the Purpose of Life itself." (www.jamesmuir.com) HID01801242017

Est: $500 - $800
Muir, James Nathan. Bivouac. James Nathan Muir (born 1945) and resident of Sedona Arizona where he owns his own foundry, is a supremely accomplished artist whose bronzes are highly prized. Interpreting historical themes, his works focusing on the Civil War are absolutely stunning. Here a deceptively simply sculpture entitled "Bivouac" (temporary camp without tent or cover) Muir captures the hardship and strife of the Civil War by his astonishing detailed work depicting three percussion muskets leaned up together. Hanging from the guns is a hat, canteen, and two ammunition pouches, one with C.S. markings. Below the guns, laying on the rocks, there is another C.S. marked pouch on a belt with a C.S.A. belt buckle and a bayonet with scabbard and frog. Remarkable command of capturing fabric, leather and metal. Signed and dated by James Nathan Muir, 1987. Measures 25 1/2" tall, with 11 1/2" triangular rotating wooden base. Weighs about 9 pounds and while not heavy buyer responsible for outside shipper most especially for the extra care necessary to protect the bayonets. The Arden Family Holdings of Beverly Hills.
