Sculptor immortalizes Twain
By James J. Reece Kansan staff writer
Jim Brothers, a 1970 University of Kansas graduate, calls himself an exhippie, a cowboy and realistic sculptor with an eye on the sweet part of life.
For him, that sweet part means earning a living creating sculptures based on his own past and on famous Midwesterners like Mark Twain.
The Lawrence artist is putting the finishing touches on the first of two life-sized bronze statues of Mark Twain, being cast now at Heartland Art Bronze, a foundry in North Lawrence.
"To me, it's the main art form," Brothers said of his sculpting "To me, it's the epitome. It's not if you can just mold something into a certain shape. It's your twist."
Brother's manager of two years, Paul Dorrell, said one Twain sculpture was commissioned by Hartford, Conn., the other by the Mark Twain Riverboat Co., Hannibal, Mo.
Dorrell said each sculpture would bring $35,000. Brothers also recently received a $91,000 commission for "Flight," a 200-piece pewter sculpture from General Electric Aircraft Engines.
Brothers was born in Eureka. He worked on oil wells until the oil wells ran dry, then worked as a cowboy on a ranch in Eureca.
Brothers used old pictures of his cowboy grandfather as inspiration for his sculptures. One picture showed him, riffle in hand, sitting on a horse in the middle of a prairie.
I'm so into my heritage," he said. He worked in Seattle for several years in the 1970s but soon grew homesick.
"I never felt at home," Brothers said. "I'm a lander."
