Looking closely at the murals and sculptures at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915, one would notice a striking similarity in the female figures. This was because more than half the female sculptures and paintings at the Exposition were modeled by the same woman; Audrey Munson. Audrey was an artist’s model living in New York, and by 1915 was considered the “most perfectly formed woman in the world”. She became ‘The Exposition Girl’ and ‘The Panama Girl’; the face, and figure of the Exposition.
