KÜNSTLER BIO ANFORDERN
 
Born in 1947, Bill Nebecker grew up along the Snake River in Idaho. He carved horses and dogs as a boy but never considered becoming an artist. He first learned the craft of saddle making but was inspired to begin sculpting in 1964 when he attended a show of paintings and sculptures by George Phippen. When Phippen died two years later, Nebecker took a job at his foundry, the Bear Paw Bronze Works in Scull Valley, operated by Phippen's son. His big break came in 1972 when John Wayne learned Nebecker had sculpted a portrait statue of him, and Nebecker and his wife presented it to “the Duke.”<br><br>Nebecker's sculptures are well-researched and impress as authentic depictions of the historical American West in the tradition of Charles Russel and Frederick Remington. As Nebecker quickly reminds us, 'Western art is honest and realistic. Western art is portraying a way of life that people take seriously. If you don't portray it correctly, it irritates those who do know what was real.' Nebecker's sculptures sell on both the primary and secondary markets.

Bill Nebecker wurde 1947 geboren und wuchs am Snake River in Idaho auf. Als Junge schnitzte er Pferde und Hunde, dachte aber nie daran, Künstler zu werden. Er erlernte zunächst das Handwerk des Sattelbauers, wurde aber 1964 durch den Besuch einer Ausstellung mit Gemälden und Skulpturen von George Phippen zur Bildhauerei inspiriert. Als Phippen zwei Jahre später starb, nahm Nebecker einen Job in seiner Gießerei, den Bear Paw Bronze Works in Scull Valley, an, die von Phippens Sohn betrieben wird. Sein großer Durchbruch kam 1972, als John Wayne erfuhr, dass Nebecker eine Porträtstatue von ihm geschaffen hatte, und Nebecker und seine Frau überreichten sie "dem Duke".

Nebeckers Skulpturen sind gut recherchiert und beeindrucken als authentische Darstellungen des historischen amerikanischen Westens in der Tradition von Charles Russel und Frederick Remington. Westernkunst ist ehrlich und realistisch", stellt Nebecker schnell fest. Western-Kunst ist die Darstellung eines Lebensstils, den die Menschen ernst nehmen. Wenn man das nicht richtig darstellt, irritiert das diejenigen, die wissen, was real war. Nebeckers Skulpturen werden sowohl auf dem Primär- als auch auf dem Sekundärmarkt verkauft.
