The artist who created the statue 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. Monument Man is the first
comprehensive biography of this fascinating figure and his
illustrious career. Full of rich detail and beautiful archival
photographs, Monument Man is a nuanced study of a preeminent artist
whose evolution ran parallel to, and deeply influenced, the
development of American sculpture, iconography, and historical
memory. Monument Man was specially commissioned by Chesterwood /
National Trust for Historic Preservation. The release will coincide
with the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of Chesterwood, his
country home and studio, as a public site and with a major
renovation of the Lincoln Memorial. The book includes a
comprehensive geographical guide to French's public work.
