The plaque on the pedestal reads as follows: Sir Winston Churchill 1875-1965 "If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future." Tenth June 1940" Thematic tour copy: The Sir Winston Churchill Memorial was commissioned by the Grand Bahama Port Authority, Freeport, Grand Bahama Island The Right Honourable Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, KG, OM, CH, FRS (November 30, 1874 - January 24, 1965) was a British politician, best known as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during World War II; his dates of service are May, 1940 to April, 1955. At various times an author, soldier, journalist, legislator and painter, Churchill is generally regarded as one of the most important leaders in British history and a strong ally to the USA. Facts: -style is similar to John F. Kennedy portrait; they were both sculpted about the same time -rough texture surface style (like JFK's) -notice Ancient Greek style of hollowed eyes: creates a shadow and looks like pupils of eyes (like JFK's) Molly Barth copy: Then we have three very large heads. Starting with the one on the right, Sir Winston Churchill. This was cast in bronze for Freeport, Grand Bahamas.

Fredericks 1991.033 This portrait head of Sir Winston Churchill, (1874-1965) is four times the size of life in heroic-scale. Compared with the idealized style of most of Fredericks' works, his portrait style is more realistic though simplified. Churchill's serious expression and the strong modeling give this portrait a stately permanence appropriate for a memorial. It was commissioned by the Grand Bahama Port Authority, Freeport, Grand Bahama Island. Churchill is quoted on its pedestal, "If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future." Both this sculpture and the portrait head of John F. Kennedy memorial reveal how plaster models are constructed. Visible through the openings in the back are the reinforcing pipes and fabric which holds the plaster model together. Like these, all the plaster models in the Main Exhibit Gallery are hollow and some break down into smaller sections.

She also said that Henry Booth (George's son) wanted it enlarged and placed at Cranbrook. Since a Bacchante is a female follower of the Roman wine god Bacchus, this name was not considers appropriate. Thus, when Fredericks enlarged Bacchante and placed it at the Cranbrook Greek Theater in 1972 he changed the name to Persephone." Gibbes Museum Persephone, 1979 By Marshall Fredericks (American, 1909 - 1998) Bronze Museum Purchase with funds provided by the National Endowment for the Arts Living Artist Fund 1979.032 Molly Barth copy: Persephone is the mythological goddess of spring and summertime. She is rising from Hades, bringing forth spring and summer. Maybe you all know the story. She was kidnapped, and taken down to Hades, and they say that if you eat while you're down there in Hades, you automatically have to stay there, but her mother, was very, very upset when Pluto kidnapped her and took her down there, to his underworld kingdom so she struck a deal. Six months of the year, Persephone stays in Hades. That, of course, is wintertime. The other six months, when she is above Hades, we have spring and summer. A bronze cast is located at the Greek Theatre at Cranbrook. It is beautiful, outside near a reflecting pool. Another cast is at Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina, another is in Charleston, at the Gibbes Gallery. Also, we have a bronze cast in the sculpture garden and Fredericks has one in his garden at his residence. Interview- Joy Colby 1981: "But some of the middle size such as the figure of Persephone and the Gazelle I've duplicated a few times. The Persephone is now going down to Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina." Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Persephone, Bacchante [Plaster] Subject The topic of the resource Figure sculpture, American--20th century Description An account of the resource Persephone (Bacchante), 1972 Plaster original Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall M. Fredericks 1991.034 In Greek mythology, Persephone was the goddess of spring. She was abducted by Hades (known to the Romans as Pluto) and taken to the Underworld to be his wife. Her mother, Demeter (Ceres), the goddess of agriculture, searched the earth for her. Demeter finally found her, but since Persephone had eaten the seed of a pomegranate Hades offered her while in the Underworld, she could not return to the land of the living. Demeter was so upset she refused to bless the harvest. This left the earth sterile. Filled with guilt, Hades made a compromise with Demeter to allow Persephone to spend half of the year with her mother in the upper world and the other half of the year with him in the Underworld. The purpose of this Greek myth was to explain the continuing seasonal cycle of the earth each year. Fredericks created Persephone in 1972 from his Bacchante sculpture of 1935 on the request of Henry Booth, son of George Gough Booth (founder of the Cranbrook Educational Community, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan). It would be placed at Cranbrook's Greek Theatre, its present location. Persephone can also be found in the Sculpture Garden.

Main Exhibit Gallery Provenance 11/13/1998 gifted to MFSM Notes MF, Sculptor copy: The War Memorial in the United States The war memorial as an expression of proud and tragic memories came into prominence as a theme of sculpture after the Civil War. Often that tragedy was represented in terms of the individual soldier-the bronze infantryman quietly standing guard-an image which spoke so eloquently to our country that it was repeated in a thousand towns and villages. In more heroic form, the Civil War was commemorated by a general on horseback, as if at the head of his volunteer soldiers. In the vast wars of our century the individual was submerged and generals no longer rode at the head of their troops. Memories of those who served were commemorated impersonally by a flame, a sports stadium, a civic auditorium. Fredericks planned one such dramatic, impersonal commemoration of Bataan, but it was never executed. When asked to do a war memorial for the University of Michigan in 1950, he turned again to the symbolic eagle, which he had used in the Veterans Memorial Building in Detroit. The American Eagle in Ann Arbor is a fierce, combative image of courage and strength. A heroic bronze, poised on its pedestal, it shows how far he had come in expressive power from the simple grace of his early fountain figures. The observer who walks around this bronze sees a continuously changing, merging series of views, the work maintaining its vigor and meaning throughout. This is not a one- or four-sided composition but a kinetic, continuously unfolding design. Molly Barth copy: Here is a bronze. This is The American Eagle made for inside the Federal Reserve Bank in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a beautiful eagle, which is very geometric and angular as though it's just landed on this perch.

Title A name given to the resource American Eagle, Victory Eagle [Bronze] Subject The topic of the resource Animal sculpture--20th century Description An account of the resource Victory Eagle (American Eagle), 1972 Bronze, cast 1988 Gift of Frank N. and Lucille Anderson 1991.036 Cast in 1972, The American Eagle, also known as the Victory Eagle, is installed on the Federal Reserve Bank in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is stylized in a very geometric and angular way. This is especially evident when compared to the quarter-scale bronze sculpture of the American Eagle known as the Ann Arbor War Memorial Eagle located behind the male and female Baboons in the Main Gallery. Though both eagles are in abstracted, the Victory Eagle appears to be landing on the surface of the pedestal. Moreover, it is situated above the eye-level of the viewer and looks down with glaring eyes. Its upraised wings, sharp beak, and talons add to its fierceness. The Ann Arbor War Memorial Eagle sits in a threatening, guarding posture.

Main Exhibit Gallery Provenance 1989 March, 22 Gift to Museum and SVSU Board of Control Notes Thematic tour copy: John F. Kennedy, 1970, plaster Cast in bronze and mounted on 6 foot marble, it's located at the Macomb County Building in Mt. Clemens, MI. It was placed between the county building and Courts Building which now covers the spot from which Kennedy delivered a campaign speech before 20,000 persons in October, 1960. Its cost was a mere $18,000 raised by the John F. Kennedy Macomb Memorial Committee. Fredericks claimed to have studied more than 100 photographs of Kennedy most of them from the Library of Congress-while modeling preliminary busts. He claimed the pictures were of him at different ages. Fredericks never met Kennedy (he met Eisenhower and Johnson) but considered him "intense and earnest but youthful and idealistic-a dreamer." He wanted to capture the earnest feeling that he had and the youthful energy and vitality and as a visionary. This work was the first presidential bust made by Fredericks. He only did one model to keep it fresh. It is 200 times the size of a human head in volume. Kennedy was assassinated in November of 1963 in Dallas, Texas by Lee Harvey Oswald. Website reference: http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/jk35.html Kennedy, John Fitzgerald (1917-1963), 35th president of the United States (1961-1963), the youngest person ever to be elected president. He was also the first Roman Catholic president and the first president to be born in the 20th century. Biography: On November 22, 1963, when he was hardly past his first thousand days in office, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed by an assassin's bullets as his motorcade wound through Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was the youngest man elected President; he was the youngest to die. Of Irish descent, he was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, on May 29, 1917. Graduating from Harvard in 1940, he entered the Navy. In 1943, when his PT boat was rammed and sunk by a Japanese destroyer, Kennedy, despite grave injuries, led the survivors through perilous waters to safety. Back from the war, he became a Democratic Congressman from the Boston area, advancing in 1953 to the Senate. He married Jacqueline Bouvier on September 12, 1953. In 1955, while recuperating from a back operation, he wrote Profiles in Courage, which won the Pulitzer Prize in history. He and Jackie had two children John Jr. and Caroline. Website reference: www.encarta.msn.com Kennedy was assassinated before he completed his third year as president. His achievements, both foreign and domestic, were therefore limited. Nevertheless, his influence was worldwide, and his handling of the Cuban missile crisis may have prevented war. Young people especially admired him, and perhaps no other president was so popular. He brought to the presidency an awareness of the cultural and historical traditions of the United States and an appreciation of intellectual excellence. Because Kennedy eloquently expressed the values of 20th-century America, his presidency had an importance beyond its legislative and political achievements.

Fredericks treated this enigmatic, contemporary figure a classical manner but the result has a spiritual, ritualistic quality. The lower limbs of the female figure, nude from the waist up, are draped with a wide skirt. Her knees are spread wide, with toes and feet together. Her open hands are spread, palms up, and her upturned face is parallel with the sky so that her throat is stretched almost beyond physical capability. The figures bold form is deeply carved, with angular, archaized features, ranging from relatively naturalistic hands and feet to the striated, abstract forms of her hair, which are echoes in the faceted drape of her skirt. The body itself is sensitively rendered with lifelike proportions and curves. Muscular, solid, and androgynous, Sun Worshipper is a powerful figure captured in a vulnerable moment. Like the dragon, this figure is curled upon itself and turned psychologically inward, but the dramatic gesture of the upturned face suggests a spiritual quest, a philosophical concept that Fredericks has explored elsewhere."

Main Exhibit Gallery Provenance 1989 December 7, Gift of Rogers and Mary Marquis Notes From Jennifer Lentz (Collection Documentation Intern 1991-1992) Memo dated July 30, 1991: "RE: Bacchante and Persephone On July 26, 1991 Molly told me that she had changed the original date of Bacchante from 1938 to 1935 in her records. She also said that Henry Booth (George's son) wanted it enlarged and placed at Cranbrook. Since a Bacchante is a female follower of the Roman wine god Bacchus, this name was not considers appropriate. Thus, when Fredericks enlarged Bacchante and placed it at the Cranbrook Greek Theater in 1972 he changed the name to Persephone." From Jennifer Lentz (Collection Documentation Intern 1991-1992) Memo dated September 5, 1991 "RE: Works at Cranbrook Academy of Art Museum: Two Sisters/Mother and Child Childhood Friends Torso of a Dancer Persephone (Bacchante) Also on display is a small-scale Persephone which we call Bacchante. The label states it was created in 1935 and cast in 1989. The 1935 date corresponds to our records but we had this cast dated to 1991. I think the 1989 date is more accurate."

Title A name given to the resource Persephone, Bacchante [Bronze] Subject The topic of the resource Figure sculpture, American--20th century Description An account of the resource Persephone (Bacchante), 1932 Bronze, cast c. 1940 Gift of Rogers I. and Mary L. Marquis 1991.040 A bacchante is a female follower of Bacchus, the goddess of spring in Roman mythology. Bacchante are known for their gaiety, mad songs, and frenzied dancing. Fredericks captured the spirit of these creatures in this sculpture through the stout, muscular body and its graceful lines. In 1938, Bacchante won first prize in sculpture in the Dance International exhibition in New York City. In 1972, Henry Booth commissioned Fredericks to make a life-size enlargement of the Bacchante for Cranbrook's Greek Theatre. Fredericks named the larger figure Persephone, the goddess of spring. A comparison of the Bacchante with the full-size plaster Persephone, or with the bronze Persephone in the Sculpture Garden, shows that the sculptor slenderized the later figure, but otherwise did not alter the youthful vitality and beauty of the Bacchante.

Title A name given to the resource Circus Clown [Bronze] Subject The topic of the resource Figure sculpture, American--20th century Description An account of the resource Circus Clown, 1937 Bronze, cast 1988 Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall M. Fredericks 1991.041 Although the first clowns date back to ancient times, the descendants of modern clowns were the traveling minstrels of the Middle Ages. They wore brightly colored costumes with ruffled collars and bells, plus they painted their faces or wore masks. They entertained by various means including poetry, music, juggling, acrobatics, and working with trained animals. Not until the sixteenth century when the commedia dell' arte began did pantomime become popular. Today it is a basic tool for clowns. From very early times the purpose of the clown was to display the gamut of human experience and emotion in an uninhibited manner, often by exaggeration. Fredericks' clowns possess all the characteristic attributes. First, they wear the familiar costume: baggy pants, bells, and ruffled neck, wrist and ankle bands. Their faces are painted also. Their postures and gestures are very expressive. The Lovesick Clown shows exaggerated, unrepressed emotion. The mute Clown Musicians with their invisible instruments humorously remind us of the ability of clowns to entertain without sound. The Circus Train Clown has the circus train down below on the base and the Lovesick Clown has Cupid's arrow through his heart. The Acrobat Clown is depicted with a little dog balancing on the palms of his hands. The Juggler Clown has a ball balanced on the tip of his nose and the Clown Musicians play their imaginary instruments. Fredericks sculpted the clowns using simple geometric shapes. The forms are highly stylized with clean lines and sharp edges making them visually appealing. The bronze full-scale sculptures are located outside the Arbury Fine Arts Center near the University Art Gallery on the campus interior's courtyard.
