1:24:56 What is sad to me is How Impossible our current "Society", I want to retch every single time that word is even used in ANY form to describe what it gets Evilly PERVERTED into being forced to INCLUDE as even a PART OF what is passed off as such these days, makes it for ANYONE in ANY fields of effort to Attain. Even to START in. And it is an EXPONENTIAL GRAPH in the level of difficulty FROM THE START according to wear you are born on the "Woke Enemy" delusion scale. Their cosmic justice delusion is EVERY BIT as Evil and Twisted as any Psychopathic Dictator in the WORST, DARKEST corners and cracks of the Bloody 20th! And they cannot even SEE it! And I'm afraid are careening BLIND to EXACTLY the same Result. As a "society", It looks to me, and those MUCH SMARTER than I and were Buttressed adequately enough to stay intact through the "Education" process. So, so many of the WOKE WORST, "Males" and probably the same guys Mike tries to help AT ALL are the FIRST on the woke altar in school. Never to recover many. And Mike doesn't "exclude" the few females so inclined either. But in our day, the First woke wave of feminist "Teachers" all the way back in the 70s, girls back then would have considered a trade RIDICULOUS. SO did our "Rust Belt(or VERY similar)" fathers for those of us that still had them after the FIRST WAVE of Divorce in the 60s. They didn't know anything else to recommend because that was LITERALLY the only answer they could come up with in their own "Rock Bottoms". IN THEIR 30S! Hats off to the Survivors. And even the guest sounds like it was a close run thing even for him. Sounds like he scored with his wife and good on both. Damned few of "the rest of us" were so fortunate I can tell you. Not with 2nd and third gen feminist prospects. Sounds like he knows how lucky he was. I can only hope she does. I hate that Mike brings them, but doesn't include the wives and have a double hour when they agree to be on. If the male is married, I can all but guarantee it took both unless she married the guy like most do, cherry picking off the top. I am talking the good women BEHIND the man that took the ENTIRE JOURNEY with them. NOTHING and No One is an "overnight success" especially when you don't START halfway there. A brilliant PhD entrepreneur who attracts Angel Investor Venture Capitalists for his startup, say. With full ride scholarships all the way. Or Golden Boy Athletes who can also actually get into College at least. Anybody other male these days, gentleman your road is going to be harder than any American probably since the Earliest Pioneers "Going West". And ONLY for Political Reasons that SHOULD have been fixed after the Civil Rights laws in the 60s and enabled or amplified in the Law and Amendments accompanying. It HAS BEEN EVILLY twisted and perverted by DELUDED COMMUNISTS implanted and created by Stalinist Infiltrators and subversives ever since. Would be nice if Russia would decide if they want to REALLY, FINALLY be part of Europe or NOT and if a LIST of Targets exist, or the Agent who did this is still alive, help us with providing same before the rest explode long after the Soviet Union is gone but it's consequences still poison the Planet and proceed headlong into WWIII! And will likely END Nuclear, and we can only pray it will be "Limited" if such a thing can ever even be considered. It certainly won't be by any at ground zero. Whichever "side", by whomever's hardware. Forever. Wikipedia...FWIW. Albert Einstein is often quoted as having said: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones". Einstein might not have actually said this, but other things that he said show that he believed the weapons used in World War III might be so devastating that they would end civilization as we know it.[1] Amen, for any "side" who thinks a "First Strike" would be decisive IN ANY WAY. OR for any Nation Possessing such Options to ever be Weak Enough, or rendered such Conventionally, to consider them as a desperate LAST RESORT to prevent annihilation. The only reason any more to attempt to build such should only be as a Cornered Animal Deterrence and ONLY because the Genie is FOREVER "Out of the bottle". I believe it was a colossal Diplomatic failure To EMBRACE ALL OF RUSSIA AND ANY OF THEIR FORMER BLOC INTO NATO as independent Nations after the Fall of the Berlin Wall. I would almost call it CRIMINAL by all NATO members OR EU Aspirants such as they existed at the TIME. Any who had would have probably had Far More insight into bringing Russia along however gradually that may have had to take. At the LEAST some sort of Mutually agreed Peace Accord Vis-A-Vis each other. Primarily because of the Catholic and Orthodox Historical "Baggage" as anything else.

Art that speaks to the beauty of humanity. What a beautiful sentiment

[@nfcapps]

It's not a sentiment. It is truth. It is literally the original point of education, to train people in the good, the true, and the beautiful. Sentiment is fragile, fleeting, frivolous. Easily dismissed, and meant to be dismissed. Truth is firm, solid, immobile. It's the foundation of eternal things, never to be dismissed. The foundation of all things that withstand the tumult of the "changes" of tastes and desires through all of human history. I hope that one sentence, spoken by a theologian hundreds of years ago and repeated by an artist today, will help change your view of the subject he's speaking about. Be blessed.

[@laattardo]

WW1 and WW2 trench art is horrific to behold and yet incredibly important for the human story. Sometimes beauty isn't the most important part, the story it tells is more important. Trench art should be shown more often to remind us of the horrors of wars.

Sabin: Thank you for the WW1 Memorial sculpture!! My grandfather was a veteran of this war serving in the French Foreign Legion (although he was an American from rural Indiana). He suffered from PTSD in silence... never revealing his experiences. He lived to be 101 years old (1897-1998). Never even knew this until I was about 10 years old and my brother and I found German artifacts he pulled from the battlefield in the attic of his garage.

[@josephbravo2590]

As an art historian, a former curator of Classical antiquities, a curator of contemporary art, a museum Executive Director and now an art critic, I have followed Sabin Howard’s career closely for over a decade. I have had the opportunity to get to know him personally and can attest to his remarkable grace and humility as well as his genuine authenticity. I was privileged to consult Howard through his struggles as he ran the exhausting political gauntlet to get final approval for his WWI memorial monument. While his exceptional skill as a craftsman is self evident, perhaps more impressive is Sabin’s extraordinary concern with the content of his artistic narrative. Howard was cognizant that the creation of a war memorial was not only a politically fraught proposition but also entailed not inconsiderable ethical hazards. Too often such patriotic monuments encounter the perils of jingoism, of demonization of the other and the romanticization of war. Sabin did not want to glorify warfare itself and conscientiously sought to avoid these pitfalls. Instead, he created a composition that depicted the horrors of war without the exploitative depiction of violence, without making a political judgment and which focused on the heroic challenges to the individual whose duty it is to fight it. Befitting a monument to soldiers of WWI, the sculpture’s narrative concludes with the subtle implication of what was to follow, ie. yet another war of even greater calamity. The occasion of war is not something to be celebrated but the patriotic sacrifices made by the warriors themselves command the grateful acknowledgment of a nation. Sabin Howard managed to conscientiously navigate these narrative hazards with laudable nuance. Howard’s attention to detail not only in the execution of the artwork but also in its design and the transcendence of the viewer’s experience requires an unfathomable amount of dedication throughout the creative process. While he has an obvious mastery of historic techniques, Sabin is by no means anachronistically stuck in the past as he incorporates every modern technology conceivable including digital photography, computer aided design, digital printing, state of the art materials and foundry casting techniques throughout the production of the finished artwork. He is that ever so rare phenomenon of the true modern master. While he is intimately aware of art history, Sabin is not constrained by it as he stands on the shoulders of giants to create artworks that are more than mere simulacra of historic precedents but instead establish original figural paradigms that are unmistakably reflective of Enlightenment values more pertinent to the current era than perhaps any time in history. There is a reason you don’t see a plethora of artists like him because few will ever manage to be as pathologically dedicated to learning, possess the maniacal work ethic and have the personal integrity to attain Sabin’s level of artistic achievement. Such talents were never common in any era and are even more precious in the contemporary one. The unlikelihood that such a superlative artist would emerge in the present can hardly be overstated. Cherish this one, because as someone who has spent a half century in the company of artists, I can testify that you are not likely to ever encounter another sculptor of Sabin Howard’s caliber.

[@tammy5666]

Thank you. As someone who is in awe of the classics and true talent, I often feel gaslighted into seeing artistic values in modern art. I savored every word of Sabin in this interview, feeling that I was in the rare presence of artistic greatness.

I would agree with him regarding getting back to beauty in art.

[@renwright-trapino789]

Michelangelo would be so proud! Bravo Sabin! You have the same fire in your Soul to create pertinent figurative Stories in Sculpture, as Michelangelo did. I was fortunate to get to see every single sculpture he made in Italy as I was an art student in Rome in the '80's . I can definitely say your works compare beautifully with the Renaissance Masters works. This interview warmed my heart today. I've been an artist my entire life and an art teacher for 38 years. Your boldness to create works of Truth in Art even in this age encouraged me greatly! You're absolutely right, we artists should not bow down to the dark, mindless, empty Modern Art Styles. We need to keep creating works of art that glorify our Creator. Thank you so much! May God guide you and give you His Strength to create more Beautiful works of Art! Our World needs it desperately!

Mike, I'm so glad you had this conversation. As a sculptor who has also created public monuments, it brings a sense of pride to hear art of this caliber being discussed by a man I have admired, followed and supported for years (speaking about you, Mike). Hearing Sabin bring up points about the state of the art world which I was also making 30 years ago when I was in Art College (I even wrote and posted a manifesto around my college, raging against what art had become), lets me know that representational art, historical art, art of undeniable ability is still being fought for and supported. The process of creating a monument is no small feat, and what Sabin has created is truly a masterful work that deserves it's place in Art History. I'm sure Sabin is honored to be included in a list of names that includes Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Daniel Chester French, Henry Shrady, Frederick Hart and many more. So I'll thank you one more time for this conversation which was so important to those of us who make art and for elevating our passions to something that people should remember again.

“Art” is the reaction of the observer ..styles come and go ..but there’s something primeval in how it makes you feel . Howard’s work hits you not only with the sheer physicality but the powerful emotional impact.

[@shawnaweesner3759]

Art is NOT “the reaction of the observer.” Art has its own criteria separate from the observer.

12 million is a great price for the scope of this work! Very impressive. I can't wait to see it.

What a great conversation with a dedicated artist a rare thing

[@blairwebster7832]

So love that title. I can totally relate. It’s those that challenge convention and push against the current accepted norms, beyond what the majority doesn’t understand or want to look at in their live. Creativity in any vocation or career pat is always pushed on hard because it’s about humans not feeling inferior or out of touch with themselves. Consciousness always wants to expand and grow beyond current perceived limits. One generations heretic is the next generations savior/hero. Thanks for giving a voice to the new paradigms of creation in this life!!

I have waited so long to hear an artist speak these truths. God Bless!

Fantastic interview with a very endearing artist❤

[@carriepotter7509]

Thank you Mike for bringing people like Sabin to the masses. It makes those of us who feel we are alone in our thinking, know that we are not. I love being a citizen of the United States. When Sabin said he didn’t have to be what his father was….but he still respected his father choosing to be who he was….. that’s the beauty of our country. I was just in Croatia where we went out on a boat with an oyster grower. His family had been doing that since the 15th century. His daughter was there helping him. Disappointment was in his eyes when he said his son won’t continue the family tradition, he would rather be an Uber driver. The contrast in our countries definition of success is different. Yet when a father reflects on the life of his children, it’s the same. Sabin came to tears talking of his daughter following after him and the Croatian oyster grower came to tears when he thought his son would not. Our hearts are intrinsically knitted with our upbringing and our children’s future. History matters, truth matters. Again, thank you Mike and Chuck and your team for connecting people.

True art has always paralleled culture, liturature, history and architecture.

Thank you for this inspiring, enlightening podcast. It lifted my spirits immeasurably.

Finally a REAL MAN OF CONVICTIONS and FAITH. Best Program I have seen in YEARS. Thanks Mike and especially Sabin. From a fellow Artist on the outside.

There should be more views than the current 112K views that are listed. This was a great interview, thank you very much! Unfortunately, I will probably never get to see his masterpiece in person but I cannot wait to see the documentary about how it was made. The theme of the monument reminds me of the movie, War Horse!

I loved this! Artists are the most sane people on earth. Including the ones who society drove crazy.

[@Nancy-g2o]

I really am impressed. This is likely your best.

[@DotMoore-o6c]

Wow! What an inspiring conversation. Loved it!

[@CKGolfer]

The good, the true and beautiful!

[@Mogiewankenobi]

I teach high school Art and it’s sad how underfunded this God given talent is. There are so many talented kids out there. Thank you Mr. Rowe for having this episode and podcast to showcase talent and creativity.

[@dividedline-f3i]

Thank you Mike and Sabin, the only way people can collectively process what's happening now in their hearts and mind is for true artists to dig in and start processing what's happening with blood and tears. I can't wait to learn more from you all!

[@janerobertson-oh4ul]

Oh yay! It’s Sabin Howard! Always wishing you the best.

[@joehynes2964]

Love this guy. Massive talent, filled with passion, and incredibly thoughtful.

[@johnkling3537]

Sabin is soooo right. Feels right. Sounds right. Looks right. Help people come together.
