Beatrice Fenton, Plaster Sculpture of Isadora Duncan (first half 20th century)

Description We find it very difficult to find affordable sculpture, let alone affordable sculpture by a female artist.  But here we have a beautiful plaster one of Isadora Duncan by noted Philadelphia figurative sculptor and teacher Beatrice Fenton. The use of plaster as a medium allowed Fenton to create incredibly intricate detail of the famous dancer's dress and hair. Interestingly, one of Fenton's teachers was sculptor Alexander Stirling Calder, father of Alexander "Sandy" Calder III who is most recognized for his fabulous mobiles.
