Philip Grausman is an American artist who creates fiberglass portraits of monumental size. These sculptures vary in height, and average to about 10 feet tall. These works are primarily outdoor works, although Grausman is renowned for his smaller scale sculptures as well. His material is artificial, yet speaks to classical ways of creating busts out of marble. These three women seem to look at one another in silent contemplation among the landscape.
