New Image Reference CD for Monumental Sculpture

Introducing the Krieble Library's First Digital Image Project!
This new resource is now available for use in the Krieble Library!

American Sculptors – 19th & 20th Century
Public Monuments in the Figurative Tradition


This collection of 19th & 20th century American Public Monuments in the Figurative Tradition is annotated with reference to sculptor, site, historical and architectural context; elements important to a full appreciation of public sculpture.


F
ifty-nine significant public sculptures, by 23 sculptors, are represented in 279 multiple views.


This project was funded by Pfizer Research & Development, Pfizer Inc to commemorate Marcia H. Murphy’s thirty-six year career, and her direction of their fine arts exhibition program. In pursuing her passion for fine art, Marcia supported local non-profit art organizations, including the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts, and directed the Pfizer gift to the Lyme Academy and its Krieble Library to reinforce the College’s continuing excellence and focus on a thorough grounding in traditional art discipline.

The sculptures were photographed and donated by Michael Richman, Ph.D., Washington, D.C., art historian and authority on Daniel Chester French. Digital images were produced by ABC Photo Lab, Mystic, CT. The CD design is by Kelly Bigelow Becerra and George Ross. Editors: Loree Bourgoin, Jen Fowler, Marcia Murphy.
