We just learned about the National Shrine of the Little Flower by Chambellan.
Another famous American Sculputre is the Detroit Zoo Rackham Fountain by Corrado Parducci.
Corrado Parducci was born in Italy in 1900, and moved to the USA when he was 4 years old.
When he was young he went to art school, and at 17 he started working as an architectural sculptor.
There was a famous architect in Detroit named Albert Kahn who liked his art so much he asked him to come to Detroit, where he made some famous sculptures like the art on the Guardian Building in Detroit.
He also made other sculptures, like the Rackham Memorial Fountain in the Detroit Zoo.
When Parducci first came to Detroit, he only planned on staying for work for a little while, but because Detroit was so busy and successful he moved his whole family to Detroit and spent the rest of his life making sculptures all over hundreds of buildings in Michigan.
