    Sculptor Clark Mills was the first in America to do what?

    Question #107407. Asked by serpa. (Jul 26 09 10:43 AM)


    BRY2K

    		In 1852 Clark Mills received a commission for an equestrian sculpture of President Andrew Jackson. To show his subject’s vitality, Mills decided to show him on a horse in motion, even though at that time no one in America had ever been able to cast a rearing horse. Mills figured it out, becoming the first American sculptor to master this technical challenge. The result can be seen in Washington, D.C., New Orleans, Louisiana, and Nashville, Tennessee.
