Catalogue Note
Mary Klauder was an American sculptor who studied and exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
'Yeats, looking from the beginning for a self-image, had always been interested in his own portraits. Several were sculpted: a bronze mask by Kathleen Bruce (1908), a bronze bust “mounted on a rough block of green marble” by Albert Power (1917), and “a fine bust” by Mary Klauder (1936). These sculpted portraits and Yeats’s admiration for the last two in particular suggest that his desire for poetic self-portraiture may be a sculptural as well as a pictorial analogy.' (Loizeaux, op. cit., p.178)
