About

Why this artist matters now

Benjamin Paul Akers was an American sculptor working in marble within the neoclassical tradition during the mid-19th century. Active as national artistic ambition was expanding, he contributed substantially to the formation of American sculptural practice through his formal marble works and idealized figural forms characteristic of the neoclassical movement.
