Frances Grimes

Why this artist matters now

Frances Taft Grimes was an American sculptor whose practice centered on bas-relief portraiture and figural busts. Working primarily in the early twentieth century, her work maintained a formal restraint characteristic of portrait sculpture of the period, emphasizing clear articulation of facial features and the psychological presence of the sitter. Her bas-reliefs demonstrate a refined command of shallow spatial depth and modeling technique.
