Bronze: The Lost Wax Process
Greg Wyatt is a native of Grand View-on-Hudson, New York, the home of
Edward Hopper. Mr. Wyatt was nurtured in the artistic tradition of his native Hudson
River Valley at an early age by his father, a painting professor at Columbia University
and the City College of the City University of New York. Upon the completion of his
B.A. degree in art history at Columbia College in 1971, he studied classical sculpture for
three years at the National Academy of Design under sculptor Evangelos Frudakis, N.A.
He earned his M.A. degree at Columbia University, Teachers College in ceramic arts in
1974, and completed his doctoral credits in art education in 1976.
Cast bronze remains his primary medium of artistic expression. In H.W. Jansonäs
History of Art, editor Anthony F. Janson states that Mr. Wyattäs work is based on the
philosophy of Üspiritual realism.¹ His mature style merges realistic images based on the
Great Books content with abstract masses of form, space and energy. Greg Wyattäs
process is very attentive to craftsmanship and the fine details of cast bronze.
His works include The Price of Freedom (2003),Tomb of the Unknown Soldier,
Arlington Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia; Soaring American Eagle (2000), North
Courtyard of Harry S. Truman Building, United States Department of State, Washington,
