Enid Yandell (October 6, 1869 – June 12, 1934)[1] was an American sculptor from Louisville, Kentucky, who studied with Auguste Rodin in Paris, Philip Martiny in New York City, and Frederick William MacMonnies.[2]
Yandell specialized in portrait busts and monuments.[2] She created numerous portraits, garden pieces and small works as well as public monuments. The sculpture collection at the Speed Art Museum in her hometown includes a large number of her works in plaster. She contributed to The Woman's Building at the Chicago World's Fair.
- ^ Some published sources say she was born in 1870; her gravestone and her passport states 1869. The 1870 Census shows her as "8/12" months old under the name Elizibeth Yandell. The information was collected June 1870, which matches a birth of October 1869. Also, her gravestone and obituary indicate her death was on June 12th but printed sources indicate June 13th.
