Harry Weber was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1942 and educated
at
Princeton University where he studied art history.
Following his education, Weber served six years in the United
States Navy.
This included a year on river patrol boats in Vietnam where he
compiled a compelling series of drawings chronicling his experiences there.
Upon returning to civilian life, Weber continued working in
two dimensional art,
primarily pen and ink sketches. In 1982, after studying with Robert Walker,
he began working as a three-dimensional artist. As a sculptor,
Weber has produced a body of work of more than forty large
and one hundred smaller pieces.
Weber sculptures have won major awards at national juried competitions,
and are in private collections in the United States and abroad.
His work embodies action and drama in a method developed over
years of sketching from life. He creates bronzes that capture an instant,
never static or posed. The detail of his sculptures complements the action
of his subjects in a unique and distinct style which employs
the natural fluidity of the bronze medium.
Weber’s artwork has appeared on the covers of several
national magazines.
His sculptures have been featured at the Museum of Fine Arts in
Newport, Rhode Island and are in the permanent collections of
the National Dog Museum and the Baseball Hall of Fame in
Cooperstown, New York. One of his sculptural groups has been designated
a National Lewis and Clark site by the Federal Parks Department.
