Preface
“Having been active in the field of portrait sculpture for some seventy years, I am particularly interested in the achievements of John Houser. I know of no sculptor now working in this country who more successfully combines the essentials of a fine portrait. In addition to sound construction and characteristic action, his likenesses have a remarkable living quality. And, beyond this, there is in everything he does a deep understanding of the qualities that make a work of sculpture a true work of art. I admire it.”
