Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington(March 10, 1876 – October 4, 1973) was an Americansculptorwho was amongNew York City\'s most prominent sculptors in the early 20th century. At a time when very few women were successful artists, she had a thriving career. Hyatt Huntington exhibited often, traveled widely, received critical acclaim at home and abroad, and won multiple awards and commissions.

During the first two decades of the 20th century, Hyatt Huntington became famous for her animal sculptures, which combine vivid emotional depth with skillful realism. In 1915, she created the first public monument by a woman to be erected inNew York City. HerJoan of Arc, located onRiverside Driveat 93rd Street, is the city\'s first monument dedicated to a historical woman.[2]

Huntington was born inCambridge, Massachusetts, on March 10, 1876. She was the daughter of Audella Beebe andAlpheus Hyatt, a professor ofpaleontologyandzoologyatHarvard UniversityandMIT. Her father encouraged her early interest in animals and animal anatomy. Anna Hyatt first studied withHenry Hudson KitsoninBoston, who threw her out after she identifiedequineanatomical deficiencies in his work (Rubenstein 1990).[full citation needed]Later she studied withHermon Atkins MacNeilandGutzon Borglumat theArt Students League of New York. In addition to these formal studies, she spent many hours making extensive study of animals in various zoos (including theBronx Zoo)[3]andcircuses.

Her work was entered in thesculpture eventin theart competitionat the1928 Summer Olympics.[4]In 1932, Huntington became one of the earliest woman artists to be elected to theAmerican Academy of Arts and Letters.[5]She was one of 250 sculptors who exhibited in the3rd Sculpture Internationalheld in the summer of 1949 at thePhiladelphia Museum of Art.[citation needed]

In 1927 Huntington contractedtuberculosis. She struggled with it for a decade but survived the illness.

Huntington marriedArcher Milton Huntingtonon March 10, 1923. They foundedBrookgreen GardensnearGeorgetown,South Carolina, incorporatingBrookgreen Plantation, which was started in the late 18th century and was a major antebellum plantation. This property was listed on theNational Register of Historic Placesin 1978 and designated as aNational Historic Landmark Districtin 1992.

Hyatt Huntington was a member of theNational Academy of Designand theNational Sculpture Society(NSS). She and her husband donated $100,000 to underwrite the NSS Exhibition of 1929. Because of her husband\'s enormous wealth and the shared interests of the couple, the Huntingtons founded fourteen museums and four wildlife preserves.[citation needed]They also donated the land for theCollis P. Huntington State Parkto the State of Connecticut. It consists of approximately 800 acres (3.2km2) of land inRedding, Connecticut, the town where they lived.

Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington died October 4, 1973, inRedding, Connecticut. She is buried inWoodlawn Cemetery,The Bronx,New York City.[6]

Other equestrian statues by Huntington greet visitors to the entrance to Redding Elementary School, the John Read Middle School, and at the Mark Twain Library. The statue at the elementary school is calledFighting Stallionsand the one at the middle school is calledA Tribute to the Workhorse.

Andrew Jackson, A Boy of The Waxhaws,Andrew Jackson State Park,Lancaster, South Carolina, depicts a young Andy Jackson, sitting astride a farm horse. It is a bronze, larger-than-life statue. Usually her horses were noble, prancing, fierce beasts. She made Jackson\'s horse a gentler animal by fixing the energy and tension of the work on the figure of young Jackson. The sculpture was initiated by a letter from a sixth-grade class at Rice Elementary School inLancaster, South Carolina, asking Mrs. Huntington if she would sculpt a statue of young Andrew Jackson for the state park. Mrs. Huntington submitted to do so, and replied, in part, \"A picture came to mind as I read your letter and I have tried out the composition. I have Jackson as a young man of sixteen or seventeen seated bareback on a farm horse, one hand leaning on the horse\'s rump and looking over his native hills, to wonder what the future holds for him. He must have been a good looking and thoughtful boy, wondering what the future might hold, moments we all have from our teens to our nineties.\" The statue was completed at her Bethel, Connecticut studio, and was first worked in clay in half the scale of the final statue. Even then, it was necessary for the octogenarian sculptor to use a tall ladder to reach the top. South Carolina school children responded by donating their nickels and dimes to raise the necessary funds for a massive base to support the statue, which looks out over the large expanse of lawn at the park. County workmen placed the statue on itsLancaster Countypink granite base in time for the ceremony marking Andrew Jackson\'s 200th birthday, in March 1967. This was Huntington\'s last major work, completed after her ninety-first birthday. The statue is located atAndrew Jackson State Park, about nine miles (14km) north ofLancaster, South Carolina, just off US 521.
