The book provides insights into the lives and works of prominent figures in American sculpture, such as John Quincy Adams Ward, Augustus Saint Gaudens, and Daniel Chester French, among others. This publication is likely aimed at readers interested in art history and the development of sculpture as an artistic discipline in America. In this book, Taft details the contributions of each sculptor, highlighting their unique styles, notable works, and the influences that shaped their artistic journeys. For instance, John Quincy Adams Ward is celebrated for his mastery of portrait sculpture and monumental works like "The Indian Hunter," while Augustus Saint Gaudens is recognized for his versatility and iconic pieces such as the "Lincoln" statue in Chicago. The text contrasts the early imitative stages of American sculpture with the mature, distinct styles that emerged by the turn of the century, presenting a narrative of artistic evolution that reflects broader cultural shifts in the United States during this period. Through comprehensive profiles and discussions of key artworks, Taft illustrates the significance of these artists in solidifying America's presence in the global art scene.
