(1930 - 2011) Limited edition bronze 25/30 with base. Inscribed "G. Speed/Copyright 1979 Cowboy Artist of America. 19 1/2"H x 43"L x 9 1/2"W. In addition to completing commissions, Grant Speed continues to exhibit extensively throughout the West. Speed characterizes his work as "Loose Realism." His work is full of passion and enthusiasm for the subject matter, born out of his own experience. His sculpture also speaks of a love for the medium and the process, with an aggressive use of texture and delightful exploration of the possibilities of clay and bronze. Dr. Vern Swanson, Director of the Springville Museum of Art, terms Speed a Cowboy Western Impressionist and says Ropin' Out the Best Ones is a "pure action piece in technique and subject."
