sidebar"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".

"In the Days of Peace (c) 1914 Bennett H. Young |
| The Bower is a tribute to Southern gentility in the face of cruel war's oppression. She is the Mother, Sister, Wife, and Sweetheart of the noble soldiers whose blood christened the battlefields in defense of hearth and home. She is every woman whose only means of fighting was in the never-failing emotional support of their loved ones at the front--writing letters of cheer amid tears of anguish, words of hope when, even at home, there was precious little else, and perhaps, pausing in mid-sentence to remember |
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."
