George S. Stuart
For more than fifty years, the historian and artist George S. Stewart has been creating figures of rare realism, the prototypes of which are well-known historical characters and simply historical types. The results of the master's work - more than four hundred such works - are today in various museums and private collections. Once a month, George Stewart gives lectures on history, accompanied by a display of his figures, making such performances extremely impressive. Most of these performances he conducts in California, in the Museum of Ventura County. He does not like when his works are called dolls or figurines, since they are less artistic images, and more the result of the painstaking research of a historian who is looking for portraits, drawings and documentary descriptions of his future characters. The figures are made in a quarter of the height of the person depicted.
