John Quincy Adams Ward Biography

(b nr Urbana, OH, 29 June 1830; d New York, 1 May 1910). American sculptor. He was apprenticed to the sculptor Henry Kirke Brown in Brooklyn from 1849 to 1856 and learnt to work in clay, plaster, marble and bronze. In 1861 Ward opened his own studio in New York. His first life-size sculpture, the Indian Hunter (1866; New York, Cent. Park), was based on numerous studies and first-hand observation of the Dakota Indians and convincingly depicts a sinewy Indian youth holding back his snarling dog. The sculpture’s success brought Ward numerous commissions for outdoor portrait busts and statues. Among his most celebrated monuments are the equestrian statue of Major-Gen. George H. Thomas (1878; Washington, DC, Thomas Circle) and the grandiose monument to James Abram Garfield (1887; Washington, DC, The Mall).
