#48: Sabin Howard: Classical Sculpture & The Quest for Beauty

Sabin Howard is a renowned sculptor and author, born in New York, who has emerged as a leading voice in modern classical sculpture. Trained in traditional techniques, he mastered the human form with the precision of the old masters, dedicating his career to large-scale public art. A co-author of The Art of Life, Howard now shares his expertise and critiques of contemporary art through various platforms. His most notable work, A Soldier’s Journey—a 60-foot-long, 25-ton bronze relief—anchors the National World War I Memorial in Washington, D.C., honoring soldiers’ experiences while championing timeless artistry and forgotten history.
