Margaret Brassler Kane

Margaret Brassler Kane (May 25, 1909 – April 10, 2006) was an American sculptor.

A native of East Orange, New Jersey, Kane attended Syracuse University and the Art Students League of New York, and took lessons with John Hovannes. She won a number of prizes for her art during the 1940s. Many of her pieces depicted contemporary life, and tackled social issues of the day.[1] She was married to Arthur Ferris Kane, with whom she had a son, Jay. Among Kane's works is an eighteen-foot long relief in limewood depicting the history of humanity.[2] A 1937 work in Tennessee marble, Harlem Dancers, is in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.[3]
