Perry (ROLAND HENTON sculptor)

ROLAND HENTON, sculptor and painter. He was born in New York in 1879, and studied painting and sculpture in Paris, and his work quickly won recognition. The "Fountain of Neptune" in front of the Congressional Library, Washington, is an example of his first plastic work, but this, and his "Siegfried," were progressively excelled by his later works, among them, "The Lion in Love," "Circe," the Langdon doors of the Buffalo Historical Society, the frieze in the lobby of the New Amsterdam Theater in New York, "Pennsylvania" on the capitol at Harrisburg. Sculpture has been his main work but his painting at Detroit "The Death of Sigurd" shows finish in that field also.
