Over de sculptuur
Gutzon Borglum sculpted several portraits of Abraham Lincoln, including the monumental head carved into Mount Rushmore, a full-length statue for the front of the courthouse in Newark, New Jersey, and a colossal marble head for the U.S. Capitol. To understand his subject’s character, he examined photographs of Lincoln’s face, read extensively about the former president, and studied the famous life mask created by sculptor Leonard Volk in 1860. Here he presents Lincoln as a dignified man, weathered by the events of his life and career.
