Eugenie F. Shonnard
American, 1886 - 1978
Shonnard worked across a wide variety of sculptural techniques, but came to champion “direct carving,” also referred to as taille directe, which was popular among early twentieth-century sculptors. This approach to sculpture involves working directly on an artwork without the use of models or maquettes for reference, making many of her sculptures one-of-a-kind objects. (Waguespack, 2018).
