So, to answer my question as to the identity of the sculptor who did the Poe bust at the Hay, I realized the answer was right there under my nose, that you coiuld see a name and a date on one of the photos I took. So, I enlarged it:

Thank you for the photos. And for sharing the experience of what the Hay has become for you.

Aristide Berto Cianfarani (1895-1960) was an Italian-born sculptor who studied at the Rhode Island School of Design.

That's cool!

Nice. It would be great if you found Joanna Cassidy wearing a scarf in the photo.

Nice work!

I started to comment but logged off to check my facts and- well, wow- I wanted to comment about a sculpture at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in DC, and I did not know the sculptors name, but I knew the name of the piece. I did a watercolor painting from a photo of it. Which I took. Exquisite piece of art. Very... Delicate. Gentle. I googled this: The Sons Of God Saw The Daughters Of Man That They Were Fair. Boom. Daniel French, 1923. Here's the kicker- he also sculpted Abe. In the Lincoln Memorial. I feel like a lazy slug right now.
