Margaret Brassler Kane


Margaret Brassler Kane was an American sculptor.
A native of East Orange, New Jersey, Kane attended Syracuse University and the Art Students League of New York, and took lessons with John Hovannes. She won a number of prizes for her art during the 1940s. Many of her pieces depicted contemporary life, and tackled social issues of the day. She was married to Arthur Ferris Kane, with whom she had a son, Jay. Among Kane's works is an eighteen-foot long relief in limewood depicting the history of humanity. A 1937 work in Tennessee marble, Harlem Dancers, is in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
