"Richard Masloski's ability to recreate a character in sculpture that
had been created by Washington Irving in literature impressed me. Rip Van
Winkle's tattered and wrinkled clothes, his overgrown beard and nails, his
toes bursting through the shoes and his recumbent pose gives the viewer a
dramatic sense of his reawakening. It so perfectly embodies the famous
character in the Irving story."
Neil Estern, past
President of
the
National Sculpture Society and sculptor
of the FDR Memorial in Washington, DC
