Bust of John Wayne - This lot features a bust of John Wayne, America's most beloved cinematic cowboy and war hero. This art piece features an image of Wayne towards the end of his life in a bronze-like material, and includes a sculpture base with an inscription of the icon's name. Born Marion Robert Morrison in Winterset, Iowa in 1907, John achieved his break in the film industry with a supporting role in the 1930 Western film The Big Trail. After appearing in a string of low-budget westerns throughout the 1930s, Wayne starred in the 1939 film Stagecoach, which catapulted Wayne into superstardom. Throughout his career, Wayne starred in more than 140 films, and in 1979, he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for his incredible contributions to the cinematic industry and American culture. He passed away at the age of 72 in 1979, and was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Jimmy Carter.
