The studio dates to 1898.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the crouching figure he turned to the sculptor \u003cstrong\u003eRichard Bock\u003c\/strong\u003e.

It struggles to break its bonds and find self expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Boulder Crouching Man statue shows that struggle in a solid mass. The crouched form seems carved from the ground itself. As a Frank Lloyd Wright Boulder statue, it joins art to architecture.

Place the Boulder Crouching Man statue where visitors can walk around it. An Oak Park studio garden sculpture like this suits a garden path, a patio, or an entry. Brush it clean with a soft brush. The Richard Bock Boulder sculpture rewards a slow walk around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrank Lloyd Wright in Brief\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrank Lloyd Wright lived from 1867 to 1959. He trained under Louis Sullivan in Chicago and developed the Prairie style at his Oak Park studio. His buildings treated every detail, down to the furniture, as part of one design. The Richard Bock Boulder sculpture shows that idea outdoors. A Frank Lloyd Wright Boulder statue and an Oak Park studio garden sculpture share that spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFor More Reading from the Web\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeet Richard Bock, the German-born sculptor who worked with Wright for more than twenty years. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Richard_Bock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRichard Bock - Wikipedia\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisit the Boulder Man on the piers at 951 Chicago Avenue, where the Wright studio still stands. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/passportandbaggage.com\/boulder-man\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBoulder Man at 951 Chicago Avenue - Passport and Baggage\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nichols Bros.
