Published: 'Painting and Sculpture By Living Americans: Ninth Loan Exhibition', Exhibition Catalogue, Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY, 1930, Number 122; Brooklyn Eagle, December 7, 1930; Boston Evening Transcript, January 29, 1938; 'American Art of the 20's and 30's', Reprint of Exhibition Catalogue, Museum of Modern Art, New York and Arno Press, 1969.
In 1930, five sculptures by Connecticut native Dudley Vaill Talcott were included in the “Living Americans” group show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Despite the heady company, including Arthur Dove, Charles Sheeler, Stuart Davis and Marsden Hartley, Talcott’s works stood out.
Talcott displayed his whimsical side in the geometrically abstracted Child’s Restaurant Waitress (1928), playfully mythologizing a well-known uniformed server of the time. Made of carved wood, the aproned statue was an irresistible cubist tour de force.

- Victor Salmones Signed Bronze Bust of a Young ChildBy Victor SalmonesLocated in Los Angeles, CAAn untitled signed bronze sculpture by the Mexican artist, Victor Salmones (1937 - 1989) from an edition of 10. Numbered 1 of 10. Signature "Victor Salmones. 1/10" in cast. In excellent original condition. Victor Salmones (1937-1989) was the most widely known sculptor living and working in Mexico during his lifetime. His sculptures won him universal acclaim and are held in the collections of museums, corporations, cities, universities and private collectors in some 30 countries. During his career, he was highly sought after and increasingly involved in the execution of commissions for major public works around the world. Salmones developed his love and talent for creating sculpture by working with clay in high school. He attended the Instituto de Bellas Artes (Mexican National Institute of Fine Arts), where he was an apprentice to the Bauhaus master, Otto Hoffman. He was trained to use the exacting, age-old lost wax method of casting and worked principally in bronze. Hoffman's encouragement led to the opening of Victor's own sculpture workshop in Cuernavaca in 1966. In 1967, Salmones’ fluid bronze “Adam” won first prize at the Biennale Exposition of the National Museum of Modern Art. His work continued to win the highest critical acclaim at subsequent Biennale expositions, and in 1971, over hundreds of entries, his life-size bronze Narcissus...Category
