Victor David Brenner

Victor David Brenner made detailed portraits and medals, often in bronze or plaster, using sharp lines and careful shadows. A 1907 photograph in the collection shows him with a sculpted head, capturing his sharp focus on form. Look for the way light plays off metal or skin in Untitled (Photograph) to see his steady hand with chisel and camera. Tap the photograph to zoom in on the textures Brenner carved into every surface.
