Omschrijving

Winner, New England Society Book Award - Praised by Ron Chernow as "one of the foremost living authorities on Abraham Lincoln, Harold Holzer has long straddled the crossroads of history and art with his own inimitable brand of scholarship." Chernow also says that the book, "will surely rank as the authoritative life of a man whose creations in stone and bronze have become inseparable parts of our historical memory. - "It is a thing as rare as it is welcome--an authoritative book about a visual artist that is both well written and jargon free, and that seamlessly addresses a professional audience as well as the general reader."--The Wall Street Journal
The definitive biography of Daniel Chester French, the artist who created the iconic statue of Abraham Lincoln for the Lincoln Memorial, John Harvard in Harvard Yard, and The Minute Man in Concord, Massachusetts. Daniel Chester French (1850-1931) is America's best-known sculptor of public monuments. Harold Holzer's authoritative, lavishly illustrated, biography combines rich personal details from French's life with a nuanced study of his artistic evolution.
A fascinating life story written for readers interested in American art, sculpture, and history. Comprehensively researched and written in a lively, engaging manner, readers will be captivated by French's life work and story. His diligent dedication to perfecting his craft over many decades of hard work is an inspiring story of an artist who eventually became the most famous sculptor of monumental works in America.
Written by an award-winning Abraham Lincoln scholar. A preeminent author of numerous books on Civil War-era art and history, Harold Holzer turns his eye to the study of a brilliant New England sculptor who deeply influenced the development of American sculpture, iconography, and historical memory.
