Rhodes Moses Ten Commandments Fused Bronze Collector's Plate Merri Roderick

Rhodes Studio Moses and The Ten Commandments Fused Bronze Collector's Plate Merri Roderick First Edition 1986 Original Box Made in USA Merri Roderick, whose Treasures of the Dore Bible series of bronze collector's plates for Rhodes Studios seems certain to establish her as a master of the genre, was born in 1948 and has spent many years in the formal study of art. Perhaps best known in the Midwest, where she recently won a major award at the Invitational Fine Arts Exhibi- rion, Ms. Roderick's fine art is included in many private collections. For several years she was an apprentice to sculptor Perrin Gerber. "I had seen copies of Dore's etchings for the Bible as a child," she recalls, "although I had no idea who had done them, and I remember being awed. I've been fascinated by Dore's work ever since, and my Treasures of the Dore Bible plate series represents the fulfillment of a dream. "In many ways, my view of the world is a nineteenth- century one. I appreciate the skill of artists like Doré, and I hope that in reinterpreting Doré's etchings in a sculptural form I've brought a new dimension to his work" ✨️ 💖 New to Poshmark?
