Published: 'Painting and Sculpture By Living Americans: Ninth Loan Exhibition', Exhibition Catalogue, Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY, 1930, Number 122; Brooklyn Eagle, December 7, 1930; Boston Evening Transcript, January 29, 1938; 'American Art of the 20's and 30's', Reprint of Exhibition Catalogue, Museum of Modern Art, New York and Arno Press, 1969.
In 1930, five sculptures by Connecticut native Dudley Vaill Talcott were included in the “Living Americans” group show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Despite the heady company, including Arthur Dove, Charles Sheeler, Stuart Davis and Marsden Hartley, Talcott’s works stood out.
Talcott displayed his whimsical side in the geometrically abstracted Child’s Restaurant Waitress (1928), playfully mythologizing a well-known uniformed server of the time. Made of carved wood, the aproned statue was an irresistible cubist tour de force.

- [Morgan Le Fey]By Hazel Brill JacksonLocated in Boston, MASigned on base: "Hazel Brill Jackson". Also with artist's monogram. In fine condition. Hazel Brill Jackson (Born December 15, 1894, in Philadelphia) spent most of her early childhood in Italy. Attending the Scuola Rosatti in Florence, Jackson enjoyed afternoons at the zoo, pursuing her favorite pastime: drawing animals. World War I forced the return of the Jackson family to the United States where they settled in Boston. Hazel spent the next four years at the Boston Museum School, where she studied with Bela Pratt and Charles Grafly. Jackson returned to Rome after the war, where she worked with Angelo Zanelli and later had her own studio. With such works as Roman Work Horse and Ned (Mussolini's favorite jumper), she began to exhibit both in Rome and Florence, and eventually became a member of the Circolo Artistico di Roma. The sculptress returned to the United States in 1935 and opened a studio in Newburgh, New York. She continued to sculpt animals, concentrating on horse and dog portraits. Jackson had one-woman shows at the Guild of Boston Artists in 1938 and in 1968. In 1945, she was awarded the Ellin P. Speyer Prize by the National Academy of Design in New York City for Play-Day and Romance (a mare and foal group) and in 1949, she won the same prize for Indian Antelope. Hazel Jackson is represented in the Brookgreen Gardens collection by The Listeners, a sculpture group of raccoons, which was placed there in 1964. Don Quixote, now at Wellesley College won Jackson the Mahonri Young...Category
