Ousmane Sow (1935 – 2016) Senegalese Sculptor

Sow was known for his larger than life sculpture series depicting different cultures of Africa, as well as collections that captured a moment in history - His “Battle of Little Bighorn,” with 11 horses and 24 human figures, was shown at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 2003.

In later years he sculpted historic figures like Victor Hugo, Nelson Mandels and Toussaint Louverture, the former slave who fought for Haitian independence.
