SOM#066, Carl Mose, This Our Heritage - This Our Land, 1962
|
From the collection of John Birks
Numbers Issued: 836 Bronze
FROM THE ARTIST
In my work I try for the definitive form, the direct statement of the idea, without resort to semantics. This design is intended to symbolize the manner in which this land became what it is -- through the individual power and vision of those who cleared it first, with primitive tools and their own strength. By fusion of this individual power, in the corporate life of the family, and all the relationships growing from this primary cooperation into the complex structure of democracy -- a free nation. This is our heritage.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Carl Mose was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and after coming to this country while still quite young spent much of his life in St. Lewis, Missouri, where he maintained his studio. Recently appointed to the Institute of Heraldry of the U.S. Government, he now resides in Washington, D.C. In addition to independent study abroad, he studied sculpture in this country at the Chicago Art Institute; the Students’ League and the Beaux Arts Academy of New York City. He has taught at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C., the Minneapolis Art Institute and at the School of Fine Arts, Washington University, St. Louis.
Mr. Mose has done sculpture for public monuments and buildings, among them a stone bas-relief for the Department of Agriculture building in Washington, D.C.; statues and keystone carvings, Washington Cathedral; limestone bas-relief for the Potomac Electric Power Company building; and figures and ornamental work for numerous colleges and other public buildings. Recently he completed a sculptured group for the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado and a portrait statue of the late General John J. Pershing for the state capitol grounds in Jefferson City, Missouri.
He has done many portrait busts and bas-reliefs of well known figures and his work is represented in the Mellon Collection of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; at Carleton College and in private collections.
