Greg Wyatt, All-Services Guardian Angel, computer graphic simulation for a 15-foot tall sculpture at Thayer Gate, West Point, Highland Falls, NY.

Greg Wyatt, upon the completion of his B.A. in art history at Columbia College in 1971, studied classical sculpture for three years at the National Academy of Design’s School of Fine Arts under sculptor Evangelos Frudakis, N.A. He earned his M.A. at Columbia University, Teachers College, in ceramic arts in 1974, becoming a candidate for his Ed.D. He completed his doctoral course work in art education in 1976.

Cast bronze is Mr. Wyatt’s primary medium of artistic expression. Dr. Anthony Janson, editor of Janson’s History of Art, has stated that Mr. Wyatt’s work is based on the philosophy of “spiritual realism.” His mature style merges realistic images inspired by his readings of the Great Books with creative masses of form, space, and energy. His lyricism evokes poetry while his work is attentive to craftsmanship and the fine details of cast bronze.

Mr. Wyatt’s works include a twelve-foot high bronze World War II memorial, The Price of Freedom (2010), permanently placed at the Arlington National Cemetery Visitors Center in Virginia. Permanently placed at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is the bronze model of The Price of Freedom (2003), Arlington National Cemetery. Other works include Soaring American Eagle (2000), North Courtyard of Harry S. Truman Building, U.S. Dept. of State, Washington, DC; Peace Fountain (1985), The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, NYC; Tempest (2000), Hamlet (2001), King Lear (2002), Julius Caesar (2003), and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2005), Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Stratford-upon-Avon, UK; Scholars’ Lion and Volcanus at the Comune di Poppi-Castello dei Conti Guidi, Arezzo, Italy; Two Rivers at Museo Dell’Opera del Duomo di Pisa, Pisa, Italy; and Socrates Equus Urns at Musei dei Civici with Giotto’s Arena (Scrovegni) Chapel, Padova, Italy.
