The Ira Simon Collection, Chicago, Illinois

Catalog Note:
Malvina Cornell Hoffman was a sculptor and author, best known for her life-size, bronze figural sculptures. Working in plaster and marble, Hoffman created portraits and sculptures of people ranging from working class individuals to significant and well-known members of society. One of her most recognized works is a commission with 104 sculptures for the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, entitled Hall of the Races of Mankind (first exhibited in 1933). Another popular work is Hoffman's sculpture of dancer Anna Pavlova. Among her many prizes and honors was membership to the National Sculpture Society. Hoffman was highly skilled in sculpture as well as in foundry techniques, often casting her own works. She published a definitive work on the historical and technical aspects of bronze casting, entitled Sculpture Inside and Out, 1939.
