After devoting more than twenty years to the perfection of the human form in bronze, Richard MacDonald focused on a series of sculptures based on his work with dancers from the Royal Ballet. The studies were designed to be the groundwork for the creation of a monumental Grand Coda. Richard MacDonald’s portrait of Carlos Acosta reveals the strength and individuality essential to the formation of a legendary dancer. It is also a documentation of the increasing influence of the Latin American culture on the world of classical dance in the Royal Ballet.
