Item Details
Description
John Rood (American, 1901-1974). Cement or concrete composite sculpture of a woman holding a book and a broom. Incised signature along the base.

John Rood's time in Minnesota was marked by his influential role as a sculpture teacher at the University of Minnesota, where he worked primarily with wood before expanding into stone carving, bronze, and metal. He married Dorothy Bridgman Atkinson in 1948, and together they established the Rood Sculpture Collection to support arts at the university. Rood's dedication led to his promotion to Professor in 1957. After retiring from teaching, he continued to exhibit his work locally and internationally, exploring new materials such as wrought iron and stained glass. His legacy persists in the abundance of his sculptures in the Twin Cities area, notably housed in the Weisman Art Museum's permanent collection, with his papers archived at Syracuse University.

Height: 9 in x width: 3 in x depth: 2 3/4 in.
Condition
There are no major cracks, losses, or restorations. Minute chips along the base. Light scuffs and scratches throughout.
