For over a century the majority of America's major sculptors chose
one particular foundry to cast their works in bronze. That foundry
was the Roman Bronze Works and its castings (and often the initials
R.B.W.) represent a vast and fascinating collection of sculptures,
ranging from the monuments of French and Saint-Gaudens to the
cowboys of Remington and Russell, from the grand and graceful
figures of Paul Manship and the charming salon pieces of Bessie
Potter Vonnoh, to the brilliant abstractions of Archipenko and
Calder. To study the ledgers and archival photographs of Roman
Bronze Works is to see the unfolding of American sculpture through
the 20th century, for here are examples from the many schools and
isms that locked the nation's art world in titanic battles between
realism and modernism and the many significant styles in between.
Over 700 photographic examples (many in color) and biographical
information about over 120 sculptors make up this book, the first
to examine R.B.W.'s role in American art.
