This scholarly volume interprets American taste and aesthetics in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Described here are 171 sculptures from the MFA's collection, in marble, bronze, plaster, and other materials. Biographies of the sculptors - including such legendary figures as Horatio Greenough, Hiram Powers, and Augustus Saint-Gaudens - detail the artists' origins and careers, while an appendix provides a groundbreaking technical analysis of the bronzes.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for sculptural reference,
By Janey Westin (Minneapolis, Minnesota: Home of the famous IceCastle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Figurative Sculpture at the Museum of Fine Arts (Hardcover)
I finally had to buy this book because I've borrowed it over and over from my local library. I find the biographies to be fascinating and the photos are magnificent. It is an excellent reference for me as a sculptor. I give it my highest recommendation.
