Sculptures by Duane Hanson

by Martin H. Bush

Martin H. Bush chronicles Duane Hanson's life and contributions to the development of twentieth-century sculpture. He begins with the artist's childhood in rural Minnesota, through his varied academic training and on to his eventual success. Bush describes the "violent expressionism" of the late sixties, through to social satire and the "illusionistic work" of the seventies and eighties.
