leeanntorrans: David Newton, a classically trained sculptor in the European tradition, has dedicated his career to transforming ordinary African American people and forgotten historical moments into unforgettable, timeless monuments of beauty. David completed his undergraduate degree in fine arts from Detroit’s College of Creative Studies and his Masters of Fine Art degree from the Graduate School of Figurative Arts in New York City. He also studied in Florence, Italy to study the masters such as Michelangelo and Donatello. Throughout his studies, he was also inspired to portray figures from his ancestral homeland, Africa. Newton’s sculptures offer a refined yet modern interpretation of the African American experience. Admirers of his African statue, “The Sentinel”, at Freedman’s Memorial in Dallas, Texas, who stand before this sculpture are made aware of the distant and powerful presence of the African American genesis.
