About the Item
A wonderful cement sculpture cast of the artist’s Persian cat Pou Pou by American artist Harriet Whitney Frishmuth (1880-1970). Harriet was born in Philadelphia, PA, and, as a teenager , she studied sculpture in Paris classes (with critiques by Auguste Rodin) and later enrolled at the Academie Colarossi there. On her return to the United States she studied with Gutzon Borglum at the Art Students League, served an apprenticeship with Karl Bitter, and opened her own studio in New York in 1908. Working to popular and critical acclaim in the 1910s and 1920s, Frishmuth won awards in exhibits such as the Panama Pacific International Exposition and the National Academy's annual shows. Frishmuth was an accomplished sculptor of portraits and animals, as well as slim, young female nudes, often in a dancing or stretching pose.
This wonderful cement sculpture cast with industrial paint circa 1941 descended from the Charles Aronson estate, author of Sculptured Hyacinths (1973), the first serious text on the life and work of Harriet Frishmuth. A photo of this sculpture can be found in this publication, pp. 109,194-95, 197, 216. The sculpture is accompanied by a framed sepia photo of Frishmuth and her cat, Pou Pou. This was purportedly the last sculpture created by the artist. Dimensions: 22.75 in H x 15 in W x 14 in D. Ref: 8
