Paul Wayland Barlett, his life and work

Paul Wayland Barlett (1865-1925), an American sculptor, became an important figure in 19th-century neoclassical sculpture.

He was born in New-Heaven, USA. His vocation as a sculptor became apparent at an early age, and he began training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1880.

At the 1900 Exposition Universelle, he represented the United States on the awards jury, after setting up his own workshop in 1884 - where he installed his own foundry.

In 1901, he won the Grand Prix at the Saint Louis Exhibition, and ten years later became a foreign correspondent in the sculpture section of the Académie des Beaux-Arts.

He was a member of several art-related academies in the United States, and in 1923 was elected a foreign associate of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

His work focuses mainly on animal and military subjects.
