Monuments and Myths: The America of Sculptors Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Daniel Chester French is the first publication to trace the intersecting work of Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Daniel Chester French, the leading American sculptors of the Gilded Age. Featuring provocative essays, stunning photography, and an in-depth illustrated chronology, the catalogue brings a contemporary perspective to sculptures that have defined and defied notions of American identity. This critical look at the artists’ public and private works considers evolving ideas about race and representation, Indigeneity, civic space, memory, and American history.
