×The Art of War with Sabin Howard In this episode, we sit down with sculptor Sabin Howard, the artist behind America's World War I Memorial in Washington D.C. From an unexpected creative awakening in a Philadelphia woodworking shop to creating one of the most significant public artworks of our time, Howard shares his extraordinary journey and philosophical approach to classical sculpture in the modern world. Episode Highlights - How an impulsive decision to quit his woodworking job led Sabin to art school and eventually to becoming one of today's leading classical sculptors - The massive undertaking of creating the WWI Memorial: 25 iterations, 12,000 reference photos, and a 18m bronze relief - Working with combat veterans as models and how it transformed his understanding of service and art - His experience navigating government bureaucracy while maintaining artistic vision - Why he believes public art should unify and elevate consciousness rather than alienate - The upcoming documentary "Heroic" chronicling the creation of the memorial (releasing June 2025) Memorable Quotes "We need to kick them out of the temple and take back art for we the people and make it go in a direction that's about elevating us and about higher consciousness." About Sabin Howard Sabin Howard is a classical sculptor whose work combines Renaissance traditions with contemporary emotional depth. As the sculptor of America's World War I Memorial, he has created one of the largest bronze relief sculptures in history, telling the story of a soldier's journey through 38 figures across 116 feet.
