Description: Malvina Hoffman is best known for her commission to sculpt a head of each race of man by the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. She spent 5 years traveling the world, getting frostbite on the island of Hokkaido modeling Ainu tribe members and adventuring in the jungles of Bali where she sculpted the lovely temple dancers. In all, over 100 ethnographic types were sculpted for the installation called the Hall of Man. She had a gift for capturing the essence of movement in her other works and specialized in sculptures of dancers as well. Outside of art, she was passionate about seeking aid for refugees, and worked for Yugoslavian relief after World War I.
