Wind and Rain, Albuquerque - NM - Smithsonian Art Inventory Sculptures on Waymarking.com

This beautilful sculpture by William Moyers is situated in the sculpture garden outside Albuquerque Museum. The Museum tells about the sculpture on their website:
"William Moyers’s cowboy figure in Wind and Rain buttons up his coat against the prevailing wind and looks into the distance. The cowboy has been glorified in the American west; it was a tough lifestyle that involved hard work, unpredictable weather, and an inconsistent livelihood. Moyers grew up with a similar lifestyle, breaking broncos and mending fences on a Colorado Ranch. He was educated at Adams State College and paid for his education by working on hay crews and breaking horses. His strong illustration background brought him success as an animation artist for Walt Disney Studios in California, but his primary artistic inspiration was the cowboy and the West".

The text on the sign at the sculpture says:
"William Moyers (b. 1916)
Wind and rain 1990
Bronze, #1/3
Museum purchase
1989 general obligation bonds"
