Old Bushman Sculpture
Collection
Identifier: ANSP-2010-082-Artifact
Scope and Contents
The sculpture was created by Malvina Hoffman around 1930. This was created during the time when Hoffman was working for the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, IL. Her skill at representation of the human form allowed her to render the graceful beauty of her subjects during their daily activities. This project resulted in the largest single corpus of her work. The sculpture is a bust of an old Bushman. It is screwed to a wooden pedestal and an engraving on the back of the bust reads: M.H. Paris, Bushman.
