• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A look at the controversial career of Dr. J. Marion Sims, "the Father of Gynecology," and the sculpture of him at Fifth Avenue and 103rd Street, New York City. Parts of this work appear as Essay 47 in Outdoor Monuments of Manhattan: A Historical Guide (New York University Press, 2007). I elaborated on it and first published this ebook when the push began to have Sims's sculpture removed from Central Park, which it was in 2018.

Autorenporträt

At age seven, I won my first writing award: a three-foot-long fire truck with an ear-splitting siren. I've been addicted to writing ever since. As an independent researcher, freelance writer, and lecturer, I indulge my curiosity and share my delight in a variety of topics. Recent art-related books include Innovators in Sculpture and Innovators in Painting, Artist-Entrepreneurs, and Getting More Enjoyment from Sculpture You Love. Sam Roberts in the New York Times called my Outdoor Monuments of Manhattan (New York University Press, 2007) "a perfect walking-tour accompaniment to help New Yorkers and visitors find, identify and better appreciate statues famous and obscure." I post art-related material regularly on YouTube and Instagram, and send out weekly recommendations to my mailing list. Starry Solitudes is a collection of 98 poems from the Sunday Recommendations. To join the email list, visit https://diannedurantewriter.com/sunday-recommendations .In the realm of history, I've published Timeline 1900-2021 and Central Park: The Early Years, as well as five volumes on Alexander Hamilton: Alexander Hamilton: A Brief Biography; Alexander Hamilton: A Friend to America, volumes 1-2; Alexander Hamilton and the Reynolds Affair; and Financial Programs of Alexander Hamilton.My website, https://diannedurantewriter.com/ , has hundreds of posts on sculpture (especially outdoor sculpture in New York City), painting, Central Park, and favorite works from museums.
