Colt Pegasus Bronze Statue - 1946

Colt Pegasus Bronze Statue - 1946

$0.00Price
Colt Pegasus by Avard T. Fairbanks
 
This fountain figure was created by Avard T. Fairbanks in 1946 for the Dodge-Wilson Estate, now Meadow Brook Hall of Oakland University, Rochester, Michigan. 

According to Greek mythology Pegasus is a flying horse with wings. Matilda Wilson commissioned Avard Fairbanks, Professor of Sculpture at the University of Michigan to create a colt with wings arising from a cloud. 

This became the central focus of a large decorative pool adjacent to the building with a number of vertical spouts around the statue spraying water.  This was the last statue created by Avard T. Fairbanks before he moved to Utah to accept the position of Dean of the College of Fine Arts in 1947. 

The original plaster model of the Colt Pegasus has been unfortunately destroyed; therefore, no castings of this work are available; however a casting of the head only remains which can be reproduced.
