Monuments and Myths: The America of Sculptors Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Daniel Chester French, a traveling exhibition on view at Nashville’s Frist Art Museum until late May, was born from the creative minds at the American Federation of the Arts, the Saint-Gaudens Memorial, and Chesterwood, French’s summer home and studio in the Berkshires. The show comprises pieces from the collections of both Chesterwood and Saint-Gaudens’s house in New Hampshire, Aspet, both part of the Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
