dbo:abstract
  • Malvina Hoffman (Nueva York, 15 de junio de 1887 – 10 de julio de 1966), fue una escultora estadounidense, famosa por sus esculturas de tamaño natural. Malvina Hoffman era la hija del pianista de conciertos Richard Hoffman. Desde temprana edad se dedicó a la escultura. Estudió en la Liga de Estudiantes de Arte de Nueva York y recibió ayuda de diversos escultores, como Herbert Adams, George Grey Barnard y Gutzon Borglum En 1910 se trasladó a París y con el tiempo fue aceptada como estudiante por Auguste Rodin. Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial trabajó para la Cruz Roja. En 1930 comenzó a trabajar para el Museo Field de Historia Natural en Chicago, Illinois, esculpiendo estatuas a tamaño natural de las diversas razas y con el tiempo acabó 105 piezas, entre cabezas y figuras a tamaño natural. Se colocaron inicialmente en el Salón del Hombre y su viaje para encontrar los diversos modelos son la base de su primer libro, Heads and Tales. En los años sesenta semejante representación fue considerada racista y la colección fue dispersada por el museo y gran parte de ella almacenada. Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Hoffman fue elegida para ejecutar esculturas para el cementerio y memorial estadounidense en Épinal cerca de los Vosgos (Francia). Marca el sitio de la sangrienta Batalla de las Ardenas. A lo largo de su carrera la fascinaron las bailarinas, y forman el tema de varias de sus piezas más conocidas. (es)

She was commissioned to execute commemorative monuments and was awarded many prizes and honors, including a membership to the National Sculpture Society. In 1925, she was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member and became a full Academician in 1931. Many of her portraits of individuals are among the collection of the New York Historical Society. She maintained a salon, a social gathering of artistic and personal acquaintances, at her Sniffen Court studio for many years. She was highly skilled in foundry techniques, often casting her own works. Hoffman published a definitive work on historical and technical aspects of bronze casting, Sculpture Inside and Out, in 1939. (en)

dbp:text
  • To understand the submerged passion that burns in the human eye, to read the hieroglyphs of suffering etched in the lines of a human face ... to watch the gesture of a hand or listen for the false notes and the truth in a human voice, these are the mysteries that I found I must delve into and try to unravel when I made a portrait.
