There is a growing interest among art historians, collectors, and enthusiasts in artists who worked in smaller American cities. By the 1930s, artists were leaving New York in record numbers to find safe havens in cities like Denver. There, away from the crowding and competition of the Depression-era they could find or create teaching opportunities, watch the rise of new and vital art institutions, become involved in public works projects, and find people eager to build art collections.
Modern Sculpture in Denverprofiles a select group of twelve sculptors, most of national reputation, who were active in Denver between 1919 and 1960. Together with its companion volume Modern Art in Denver (1919-1960): Eleven Denver Artists, Modern Sculpture in Denverconstitutes an essential tool for exploring 20th Century regional art. The Modern Art in Denverbooks will help art lovers, curators, and historians at every level complete their knowledge of the lost history of American Art.
