7/6/2023 0 Comments The sculptor by scott mccloud![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe it isn't so far from the path followed by middle-aged Mira, the superior sculptor whose work he winds up stealing, albeit unconsciously-but no matter. Such a humdrum destiny is a fate worse than death, in David’s estimation. ![]() Would David give his life for his artwork? Yes, the sculptor says, unmoved by the alternative vision that Death outlines for his life: a house upstate, a wife (and maybe a second wife), kids and grandkids, a modest career at the community college. So much so, in fact, that in a moment of despair, drunk and broke, totally out of options, he makes a deal with the Grim Reaper, who here takes the form of his Great Uncle Harry. The Sculptor, a new graphic novel by the cartoonist Scott McCloud, follows this artist, David Smith-no, not that David Smith, but a young artist living in New York today who very much aspires to his namesake's success. ![]()
