The
Iwo Jima War Memorial created by Felix de Weldon is
the most recognizable, most visited monument of the
20th Century and the largest bronze sculpture in the
world to date.
Mr. de Weldon worked on this monument from 1945 to
November 10, 1954. The raising of the flag on Iwo
Jima was the first time an American flag was raised
on Japanese soil. One third of the Marines lost in
World War II were lost on the isle of Iwo Jima. Joe
Rosenthal´s Pulitzer Prize winning photograph
was taken on the fifth day of the battle. The battle
lasted thirty six days. Three of the six Marines who
raised the flag were killed on Iwo Jima.
The Iwo Jima Memorial is an emotional and intense
work of art. Felix de Weldon viewed this memorial
as a symbol of unity, action and determination with
the will to make the ultimate sacrifice and the dedication
to maintain peace, freedom and hold our flag high.

"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.

The
Lovers commemorates the Celebration of Sensual
and Spiritual Beauty. Felix de Weldon used his
talents to capture the personality and mood of
true love. The Lovers masterfully brings together
incredible human feeling asserting that all of
us are worthy of love and respect and that each
individual is unique and valuable. The Lovers
is one of the most romantic works of art by any
artist in any medium. |
