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.

1947年生まれのビル・ネベッカーは、アイダホ州のスネーク・リバー沿いで育った。少年時代は馬や犬の彫刻をしていたが、芸術家になろうとは考えなかった。最初は鞍作りの技術を学んだが、1964年にジョージ・フィッペンの絵画と彫刻の展覧会に参加したときに彫刻を始める気になった。その2年後にフィッペンが亡くなると、ネベッカーはフィッペンの息子が経営するスカル・バレーの鋳物工場、ベア・ポウ・ブロンズ・ワークスで働くことになった。彼の大ブレイクは1972年、ジョン・ウェインがネベッカーが彼の肖像像を彫刻したことを知り、ネベッカーと彼の妻がそれを "デューク "に贈ったときだった。

ネベッカーの彫刻はよく研究されており、チャールズ・ラッセルやフレデリック・レミントンの伝統を受け継ぐ、歴史的なアメリカ西部の本物の描写として印象に残る。ネベッカーがすぐに思い起こさせるように、『西部芸術とは正直で現実的なものである。西部劇は、人々が真剣に受け止めている生活様式を描いているのです。それを正しく描かなければ、何が現実であったかを知っている人々を苛立たせることになる』。ネベッカーの彫刻は一次市場と二次市場の両方で売れている。
