Biography from Smithsonian American Art Museum:
| Michael Lantz began modeling clay sculptures while in high school in New York.
He attended the National Academy of Design and the Beaux-Arts Institute
of Design, where he won first prize for composition in 1928.
He was
employed in the sculptor Lee Lawrie’s studio for ten years, beginning
as a sweeper and working his way up to assistant. After leaving Lawrie,
he became involved with the Works Progress Administration and taught
sculpture for ninety-six dollars a month.
In 1938 he won a competition
to design two statues for the Federal Trade Commission building in Washington. This commission brought Lantz national recognition and forty-five thousand dollars in winnings.
