Cast Images: American Bronze Sculpture from The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The centuries-old tradition of casting bronze into sculptural form reached the United States by 1850, realizing its apogee in the early decades of the 20th century. Sculptors such as Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Frederick MacMonnies, and Frederic Remington were innovators in this medium; by mastering a vital French-based naturalism and choosing modern subjects, they popularized the American bronze as a fine collectible object. A selection of 50 statuettes and portrait busts from the Metropolitan’s unparalleled collection traces the historical development of the small American bronze from technical, aesthetic, and thematic standpoints.
