Marianna Pineda [SEP] cause of death
19th century liberal heroine executed for helping her revolutionary lover escape execution. Pineda developed her sense of adventure by traveling with her mother in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and to such far-flung places as Galapagos, the Marquesans, Polynesia and New Guinea. It was on trips to Greece and Egypt where Pineda first became entranced by sculpture, and not only became a sculptor herself, but also married the sculptor Harold Tovish.
Marianna Pineda died November 24, 1996 of pancreatic cancer at home in Boston.
Marianna Pineda
Marianna Pineda (1925–1996) was an American sculptor who worked in a stylized realist tradition. The female figure was typically her subject matter, often in a striking or expressive pose. Major work included an eight-foot bronze statue of the Hawaiian Queen Lili’uokalani, for a site between the Hawaii State Capitol and Iolani Palace, which she used as the subject matter of "Search for the Queen," a 1996 documentary she produced on the life of her subject and the sculpture-making process.
