The Bird Girl The Story of a Sculpture by Sylvia Shaw Judson

That demure little girl holding up twin bowls became a national sensation, an object so often sought by tourists, the sculpture had to be removed, first to a private home, then to a museum.
This is the story of that sculpture, the "Bird Girl", and the talented Chicago-based artist, Sylvia Shaw Judson, who created it. Additional sculptures by Judson illustrated and discussed here include "Gardener" - currently residing in the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden at the White House - and "Monument to the Quaker Martyr Mary Dyer" on the lawn of the Massachusetts State House in Boston. The text includes Judson's history and her works, illustrated with twenty-seven images.
This book is essential to all with an appreciation of the arts.
