Abstract
Scholars of American art have frequently noted that around the time of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, two developments emerged that significantly changed the appearance and context of sculpture in the U.S. Just as large numbers of women entered the realm of sculptural production as professional artists, a taste for small-scale sculptures intended for domestic interiors began to grow. This essay argues that these two trends were linked phenomena, intimately bound up with each other as well as with Gilded Age discourses of gender, and that the early career of Bessie Potter Vonnoh (1872-1955) provides a model for understanding the convergence of these developments.
