Summary: "American Masters of Sculpture" by Charles H. Caffin is a collection of critical appreciations written in the early 20th century. This work examines prominent American sculptors and key phases of sculpture in America, focusing on artists such as Augustus Saint-Gaudens and George Grey Barnard. The book likely delves into the historical development and cultural significance of sculpture in the United States. The opening portion introduces the historical context of American sculpture, highlighting the transformative events around the Centennial Exhibition in 1876. Caffin describes earlier American sculptors who often trained in European traditions, primarily in Italy but later shifted towards creating works inspired by their American environment. He emphasizes how the evolution of taste and a growing sense of national identity influenced sculptors to create memorials that resonate with contemporary social values, culminating in a more confident and expressive American sculpture scene. The introduction lays the groundwork for further exploration of individual sculptors, their techniques, and the broader themes of their artistic contributions.
