We just learned about the Two Circus Women by Nadelman.
Another famous American sculpture is Richard Yates by Albin Polasek made in Springfield Illinois in 1923.
Richard Yates was the Governor of Illinois in 1860.
Before the Civil War he said he did not like slavery, and helped get soldiers to fight with the north in the Civil War against slavery.
Abraham Lincoln was also from Illinois, and he was friends with Richard Yates.
The sculptor Albin Polasek was born in 1879 in the Czech Republic.
When he was 22 years old in 1901 he moved to Pennsylvania to try and get a good job and make money.
