Description:

RARE EARLY WORK!!! John Coleman (Born 1949) "Man's Prelude to Honor" Bronze Sculpture. This is a very early and important work for the artist. "Man's Prelude to Honor" was his first major bronze. During the creation of this piece, John spent a great amount of time developing the image, he spent a number of days tediously modifying the final clay image until he was satisfied. The initial exposure from this work would open the door for acceptance into prominent art galleries in Scottsdale, and Dallas. In describing this bronze the artist states, "In preparation for the morning ride, a Sioux warrior adorns himself with the symbols of his past glories. He wears his personal medicine for power and with ceremonial lance and shield, he dances for war."
