The Daniel Chester French Retrospective

FAIN: GM-10489-75

NTHP (Washington, DC 20037-1905)
Michael Richman (Project Director: September 1975 to present)

To produce the first traveling exhibition of an American sculptor and the first retrospective of Daniel Chester French (1850-1931). The exhibit will educate the museum public to the monumental commemorative sculpture which it comes in daily contact with; but has little awareness as to why it was erected or how it was created.
