With only 4 books on Manship published since 1980, in the new cycle of his recognition, it is surprising to see two books published pretty much at the same time, in 1989. This is published for a large Manship exhibition that toured 7 US museums, from the Smithsonian to the Metropolitan. Yet, it is actually also a monograph and, in many aspects, almost the same as John Manship’s book. With a few exceptions (a subsection on medals), it follows the same order unfolding Manship’s life and shows the same photographs of the same works. The book is smaller and thinner (it is published in a thinner paper, not as good as John Manship’s book), but it has a nicer cover with Diana, one of the best Art Deco works.
