Iwo
Jima Memorial
De Weldon created one of his greatest and most famous works, which
catapulted him to fame, "The Flag Raising on Iwo Jima,"
known officially as the "U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial"
in Arlington, Va.
He viewed this memorial as a "symbol of unity, action and determination:
the will to make the ultimate sacrifice and the dedication to maintain
peace and freedom." This memorial is one of the most recognizable
images in history. |
The
Discus Thrower
"The Discus Thrower" is certainly the most famous piece
in antiquity. Five hundred years B.C. the Greeks were at their peak.
Myron revolutionized sculpture depicting the beauty of form and
line, as well as flow, energy and movement. The image projects one
motion stopping and another one about to begin. De Weldon said the
"The Discus Thrower speaks of the human spirit and the joy
of competition, summing up the actions of humans as athletes and
achievers." Imagine owning the most famous work in antiquity
signed by the most prolific monumental sculptor in history. |

Felix de Weldon will be remembered as the last great master of sculpture.
Until his death at the age of 96, (June 3rd, 2003) he created over
2000 public monuments on all seven continents which made him the
most prolific monument sculptor in the history of the world.
