Youth and New Frontiers - 1937

Youth and New Frontiers - 1937

$0.00Price
It was created by Avard T. Fairbanks in 1937 while serving as Professor of Sculpture at the University of Michigan.

This statue of three figures, plus an infant, serves as a companion piece to the Winter Quarters Monument.  While the Winter Quarters Monument evokes depressed emotions, Youth and New Frontiers evokes a feeling of Upward-and-Onward/Forward thinking and prosperity, agriculture to education.  It depicts a central figure of the ideal mother holding a babe in her arms. 

Avard T. Fairbanks always revered women, especially the theme of motherhood, which this statue honors.  This statue was displayed in a life size along with the Winter Quarters at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1933-1934 for the LDS Church Exhibit. 

This artwork is not reproducible, it is not for sale. We are showing this U.S. historical artwork of Avard T. Fairbanks as a gallery exbibit.

Although the major heroic bronze statue was never completed or erected, a colored plaster model in life-size exists in the display together with similar-sized Winter Quarters at the LDS Conference Center in Salt Lake City.
