Description:
"Rolling His Own" by Mahonri Young In bronze. Noted on base 13/20, however, we feel it is a recast from sometime between the 1950s and 1970s. Mahonri Young was born August 9, 1877, just twenty days before the death of his grandfather, Brigham Young. Legend has it that Brigham's last words were, "How is the new grandson?" In 1899, he enrolled in the Art Students League in New York and then studied at several prestigious academies in Paris. His real education, however, took place in the classrooms of nature, the studio, and the museum gallery. As he studied, Mahonri found himself developing a linear action style, which was better suited to sculpture than painting. For this reason, he shifted his study to sculpture, but throughout his career, he was highly respected and won national prizes in watercolor, etching, and oil painting. Although he experimented in contemporary approaches to form, he always returned to realistic expression to pursue his interest in capturing the human figure in motion. During his lifetime, Mahonri Young completed approximately 120 sculptures, 300 etchings, 1500 watercolors, more than 100 oil paintings, and thousands of sketches. His "Factory Worker" and his "Farm Worker" were included in the decorative architecture of the American Pavilion during the New York World’s Fair of 1939.
