A selection of sculptors from Lorado Taft's 1903 book, "The History of American Sculpture," to Brahm's "Tragic Overture."

Grandmother studied at Chicago's Art Institute while Lorado Taft taught there. Mother, in her time at University of Chicago, and I, in mine, both worked in Lorado Taft's studio. From my earliest memories, mother taught me the glories of his line and curve.

For mother.
