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".

| "Don't rejoice in his defeat you men. For though the world stood up and stopped the bastard, The bitch that bore him is in heat again. Bertolt Brecht, 1945 "What good fortune for governments that people do not think." Symbolic Notes: The Iron Cross - Awarded for bravery in battle "Gott Mit Uns" - The "God With Us" motto on German beltbuckles in both World Wars. But if God takes any sides, it is that of Liberty not tyranny; a fact all governments would be wise to heed. The "Edelweis - Symbolic of the holy trinity of the human "If God is really "With Us," we will stop the next war." |
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."
