This not copywrited material or the photo the belongs with this article.

Harry Weber was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1942 and educated at Princeton University where he studied art history.

Following his education, Weber served six years in the United States Navy. This included a year on river patrol boats in Vietnam where he compiled a compelling series of drawings chronicling his experiences there.

As a sculptor, Weber has produced a body of work of over 90 large and more than 200 smaller pieces. His work embodies human emotion and power with a spontaneity developed from a lifelong habit of sketching from life. He creates sculptures, which capture an instant, never static or posed with a distinct style, which makes maximum use of the natural fluidity of the bronze medium.

Weber sculptures have won major awards at national juried competitions, and are in private collections in the United States and abroad, and have appeared on the covers of several national magazines.

His sculptures have been featured at the Museum of Fine Arts in Newport, Rhode Island and are in the permanent collections of he National Dog Museum and the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.

Two of his sculptural groups has been designated a National Lewis and Clark site by the Federal Parks Department. This includes a twice life sized grouping of Lewis and Clark on the St. Louis Riverfront which commemorated the final celebration of the bicentennial of the expedition.

His sculptures of famous sports figures are prominent features at nine different professional and college stadiums. He has installed monumental work in five different states and the Bahamas.
