GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Reminiscent of Archaic Greek sculpture with its stylized hair and expressionless features, this bust transcends an individual likeness to become an imposingly dignified representation of the idea of womanhood.
Besides the portrait heads for which she won recognition, Dallas sculptor Allie V. Tennant also created several important architectural decorations, such as plaques for various schools and public buildings. Her nine-foot-tall statue of an American Indian, Tejas Warrior, still greets visitors to the Texas Hall of State at Fair Park. She also helped found and served as president of the Texas Sculptors Group.

NOTES
This note was tagged #routed in June 2015 and Sue's revisions (in a Word doc created by ASG) have been applied to the note as of October 2015. As of January 2017 I am adding the #draft tag to this note so that it is harvested to Google Drive. Once I am sure that all pending TMS or Piction data entry is complete, I will remove the #routed tag, add the #complete tag, and move the Google Doc to Queta's folder so that it is not re-routed to Sue.
Search date added according to approval of Olivier Meslay- who also approved of a display date based on the date he used when he installed the sculpture as part of Texas Sculptors.
