Eugene Daub ((1942-?) is an American scultor known for busts in a classical style and for bas relief. Daub is President of the American Medallic Sculpture Association, of which he is one of the pioneer members (1982). Daub studied at University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Academy for the Fine Arts, and Alfred University in New York, won the Arthur Ross Award from the Institute of Classical Architecture and Classical America, and has received awards in figurative and bas-relief sculpture from the American Numismatic Society and the American Numismatic Association. Daub's work can be found in the British Museum and the Smithsonian Institution, various universities, private industry, several U.S.A. state capitals, and the National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capital building in Washington, D.C.

Daub has created many sculptures and bas relief for both private and public use. This article will highlight a few of them, including:

  • The life-size sculture (from the waist up) of Claude Shannon which stands in a half dozen locations around the USA (at universities and corporations).
  • The bas-relief "We Proceeded On" of the Lewis & Clark expedition, hanging centrally in the Montana senate chamber since 2005.
  • The Lewis & Clark commemorative medallion
  • The statue of Rosa Parks in the U. S. Capitol building's rotunda

It depicts the 1805 expedition at the High Cliffs area east of Great Falls of the Columbia River. At the panel's center is Sacagawea, the Shoshone woman who acted as interpreter for the expedition. The sculpture was co-sponsored by the Montana Historical Society and the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Commission. Mr. Daub was commissioned for the work after a nation-wide competition.
