SOM#005, Lee Lawrie, Whatsover a Man Soweth - That Shall He Also Reap, 1933
|
From the collection of John Birks
Numbers Issued: 1,1617 Bronze, 35 Silver
From the Artist:
I chose a Sower for the subject of this medal because it is a character that I have long admired. There was a farmer in Illinois that I as a boy liked to watch sow. I can see him now - his stride, and the swing of his arm, regular as though timed, as he distributed the grain evenly over the soil. My reason for using the verse from Galatians is that it seems applicable to our age. All of us are sowers, and we should not expect life to yield much in return for little, or little for nothing, or anything at all for the mere wishing - either in a material or in a higher, abstract way.
The medal is intended to cause reflection upon the age-old saying
Whatsoever a Man Soweth
That Shall he also Reap
And those who pause to look at the medal may each read into it meanings of his own." -- Lee Lawrie, 1932
