SCULPTED BY EDWARD J. ROHN, KNOWN FOR HIS ABILITY TO PROJECT EXPRESSION.
ROHN DID THE FAMOUS SCULPTURE OF PRESIDENT TRUMAN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE TRUMAN LIBRARY.
ROHN'S THREE-DIMENTIONAL PORTRAITS REQUIRE MUCH TIME AND EFFORT. ROHN USUALLY MAKES EDITIONS OF 100 TO 250
ROHN BEGANS THE BUST BY STUDYING HUNDREDS OF PHOTOGRAPHS AND THEN  CREATES FROM HIS IMAGINATION.
HE NEEDS TO KNOW HOW THE CHARACTER WILL LOOK FROM EVERY ANGLE, BECAUSE UNLIKE PAINTING, SCULPTING MUST CAPTURE EVERY DIMENSION OF A FORM, NOT JUST THE FACE OR AREA VISIBLE FROM THE FRONT. AS HIS SCULPTURE PROGRESS, HE LEARNS AND PROJECTS THE CHARACTER OF THE PORTRAIT. HE SCULPTS THE FORM FIRST IN DEEP GRAY MODELING CLAY, SPENDING MONTHS ON THE EYES, NOSE, CHIN AND EXPRESSION.  HE WORKS IN HIS STUDIO IN ELMURST , NEXT HE MAKES PLASTER MOLDS OF THE FORM AND POURS LIQUID PORCELAIN, WHICH LOOKS LIKE HEAVY CREAM INTO THE MOLDS.
WATER IS ABSORBED BY THE PLASTER MOLD LEAVING A SHELL-LIKE BUILDUP OF PORCELAIN.  WHEN THE DRIED FORM IS REMOVED FROM THE MOLD, IT IS CAREFULLY SPONGED FREE OF ANY CREASES BY TOHN AND HIS ADDISTANT.
THE NEXT STEP IS A A TEST BY FIRE OF THE WORK.  THEY BOISTER THE FORM AND PLACE IT IN A BATCH KILN WHERE TEMPERATURES UP TO 2,400 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT BAKE THE PORCELAIN INTO HARDNESS. IT IS DURING THIS PROCESS, WHEN THE ARTIST CAN'T SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING OR HELP IF HE COULD. THAT 30 PERCENT OF HIS WORK IS LOST.  THE SCULPTURES OFTEN COLLAPS, CRACK AND CRUMBLE USELESS AND ROHN MUST BEGAIN AGAIN.
IR THE FORMS SURVIVE THE HEAT, THEY ARE THEN POLISHED AND PAINTED IN MUTED PASTELS. ROHN SAID HE WANTS OBSERVERS TO LOOK FIRST AT THE EYES OF HIS CHARACTURES, THEN AT THE REST OF THE FORM.
THE SOUL IS SEEN IN THE EYES.
IT IS AN HONOR TO OWN A CHARACTER
CREATED IN THE MIND OF EDWARD J. ROHHN
PERSERVED FOREVER IN PORCELAIN.
