American Eagle Bronze Sculpture by Max Turner, 1981

Presented is an original bronze sculpture by Max Turner, circa 1981. Max Turner was born July 28, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska and raised near Bingham Canyon, Utah. Turner knew that he wanted to see the world, and he ended up traveling quite a bit when he joined the U.S. Navy. Eventually, Turner settled in Los Angeles and his love of art and sculpture thrived. Turner was an instructor at the prestigious California Art Institute and an author of three books on drawing. Turner also owned and operated a silkscreen printing company for 32 years, and later opened his own bronze foundry where he created high-quality bronze sculptures across a spectrum of genres.
