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".

| "Whitworth Sharpshooter" BRONZE SCULPTURE Edition . . 30 Size . . 8"H  |
| The unerring accuracy sharpshooters (snipers) have always been capable of, even with arrows, always inspired me in my own rifle-team career and, likewise, in my art. While it has been often said that "life imitates art" to which Abbey adds "but badly," this piece does, in fact, present the challenge of aiming with pinpoint accuracy our powers of "Discernment" in all the target choices which the battle of life offers. To make the right decisions we, like the sharpshooter must exercise total focus and concentration on the objective. As we will see later, even then, if not based on the highest motives, even the best shot may strike the wrong target. |
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."
