Robert Graham, a realist sculptor of the female figure in often stylized poses as well as commemorative portraiture and monuments, was born in Mexico City, August 19, 1938.  Graham came to Southern California from Mexico in 1952, becoming a citizen of the United States.  He studied in California at San Jose State College, from 1961-1963, and San Francisco Art Institute, 1963-1964.  He was a member of the National Academy of Design, New York City, elected an Associate in 1983; an Academician in 1994.  He was married to the actress, Anjelica Huston.
