Daniel Chester French in my opinion is one of the greatest, most important

artists in history, here is why I think that.
Let me start off by telling you a little about him, and about his life in
previous years before he got his name so known. He was born April 20th,
1850, in Exeter, New Hampshire. The places he lived in were Washington
D.C., New York City, and Chicago. It didnt say much of anything at all about
his family life, or childhood. He was married to Anne Richardson, and they
had one daughter named Margaret French Cresson. Daniel got his education
at Massachusetts institute of technology. Sadly he died on October 7th, 1931,
in Stockbridge Massachusetts.
Daniel became interested in art when he got into college and took a few art
courses, and he got big into it and started his career in it after he graduated,
and got out of college. He went down the path of 3D art, he loved making
sculptures, and he was good at it. He mainly made his sculpture out of stone,
marble, wire, etc. He like to do a variety of different types of 3D art, he didnt
have any particular favorites, or specials. And some people ask if he was
important? Yes he most certainly was, heres the main reason on how he got
so famous in the world of art.
After he got known and famous, he decided to go big, so he created what
we know know today as the Lincoln monument, this monument was as you
can guess for the famous 5th president Abraham Lincoln. And the last thing
you guys may ask, did Daniel Chester French have an interesting life? Well I
would say yes, he made one of the greatest monumental sculptures, of one
of the greatest presidents in history in my opinion, that why I chose this
artist, he defiantly went down in the history books.
