About the Artist
Robert Liberace is considered by many to be a contemporary classicist. Equally
gifted in drawing, painting, and sculpture, he may be best known for his distinctive
style of figure drawing.Rob was recently selected by The Artist's Magazine (February
2006 issue) as one of their picks for the top twenty realist artists under the
age of forty. In 1996, American Artist honored Liberace with its "Emerging
Artist Award." In 2002, he received the Best of Show Award in the Portrait
Society of America's International Portrait Competition, and in 2003 he received
the Society’s Grand Prize. Also in 2002, three of Liberace's drawings
were selected for exhibition in New York's prestigious Arnot Museum of Art.
Robert holds a B.F.A and a M.F.A from George Washington University and is currently
working on a book on classical figure drawing using modern materials. In addition
to his publication and commissions, Liberace teaches workshops throughout the
United States and Europe.
