"Allegorical Art" is a term James Muir uses to describe his work, which is filled with symbology to help create a heightened social, political and spiritual awareness. "The allegorical symbolism in my sculptures bridges the centuries of history to make contemporary statements about the human condition, in order to exemplify the highest qualities of man. My work speaks of Duty, Honor, Courage, Liberty and Justice, but above all, it speaks of Truth and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit".

James Muir fine bronze sculpture
| In keeping with his deep spiritual convictions and social consciousness, Muir's sculptural subjects have expanded to reflect the critical nature of the times in which we live. Yet, whether historical or contemporary, "the golden thread that ties it all together is still my never-ending quest for the essence of life- for Truth in its purest form." His meticulous attention to detail, coupled with an insightful grasp of the human experience resulted in exquisitely crafted and poignant bronzes. As he quickly gained the acclaim of collectors around the country, as well as induction into the prestigious Society of American Historical Artists (SAHA), Muir's work resides in the U.S. Cavalry Museum at Fort Riley, the Gettysburg Battlefield Museum, and the Atlanta Historical Society. After expanding his subject matter in 1990 to include today's contemporary issues, many of these sculptures can be found in prominent institutions and museums-such as St. Louis University, City of Loveland Park, Southern California Christian College, Paul Harvey News Broadcasting Headquarters, and some of the most prominent private collections in America |
| Originally sculpted in clay, his sculptures are cast in bronze using the classical :Lost Wax" process. Mr. Muir is available for lectures and/or for workshops to teach the "Use of Symbolism" in Creating Allegorical Art. |
