| Adolph Alexander Weinman is best known for his architectural sculpture
and for designing the "Walking Liberty" on the half-dollar and ten-cent
coins of 1916. Weinman was born in Karlsruhe, Germany in 1870 and came
to the United States at the age of ten. Weinmann first studied at
the Cooper Union School in New York and later at the Art Students
League in New York. For five years he studied at the studio of
the sculptor, Philip Martiny, and improved his artistic skills as a
stud (showing 500 of 1619 characters). |
