Augusta Stylianou Gallery

Lucile Swan (May 10, 1890 – May 2, 1965) was an American sculptor and artist. In 1937, as the assistant of Dr. Franz Weidenreich, she worked on reconstructing the skull of the Peking Man, a Homo erectus hominid, on a paleontological dig in China. She also sculpted a bust of Jesuit priest Teilhard de Chardin, who was the geologist on the dig. She fell in love with him but he held to his priestly vows of celibacy. They kept up a long correspondence. She died in New York ten years after his death.
