We just learned about the statue of Prometheus by Paul Manship.
Another famous American sculpture is Dream Lady by Edward McCartan made in Chicago in 1922.
This statue was made to honor Eugene Field, who was a famous writer who wrote some very famous poems like Wynken, Blinken and Nod.
The sculptor McCartan was born in 1879 in New York where he grew up studying art.
He went to Paris for a few years to study art, and usually made things in the old Classical style which meant everything looked very realistic.
