Title A name given to the resource The belly of "Leaping Gazelle" with streaking Subject The topic of the resource Animal sculpture--20th century. Bronze sculpture, American--20th century. Fredericks, Marshall M., 1908-1998 Sculpture--Conservation and restoration--United States. Description An account of the resource In 1936, Marshall Fredericks entered a national competition to design a memorial honoring Levi L. Barbour for Belle Isle, an island park in Detroit, Michigan. Barbour, a prominent lawyer who had been instrumental in the purchase of the island as a public park, bequeathed $20,000 to the city for the purpose of erecting some permanent structure on Belle Isle as a “continual hint to [his] fellow citizens to devote themselves to the benefit and pleasure of the public.” Open to all Detroit-area sculptors with approved credentials and others with a national reputation, the competition received entries from twenty-six sculptors. Chosen by a unanimous vote, Fredericks’ winning model featured a wounded or leaping antelope which “attempt[ed] to show the beauty in the excitement, or even death, of nature,” according to the artist. Fredericks surrounded the central figure with four smaller figures: a weasel, hawk, squirrel and pheasant, all native to Belle Isle and representing both the predatory and non-predatory aspects of nature. Located in Belle Isle’s Rose Garden, the sculpture stands sixteen feet tall atop a granite pedestal. In its final form, Fredericks altered his original concept but the overall intent remained the same. Instead of an antelope, a wheeling bronze gazelle is the focal point of the fountain and the four smaller figures on the granite basin depict a hawk, grouse, rabbit and otter, representations of the island’s indigenous animals. At the memorial’s dedication in 1937, Fredericks said the fountain “is meant to express beauty in nature and its creation.” Considered by Fredericks to be his “first break,” the Belle Isle Competition garnered Fredericks a great deal of national attention and increased his public notoriety. With castings found throughout the United States and Europe, the Leaping Gazelle remains one of Fredericks’ most popular sculptures.

Description An account of the resource In this sculpture, a large brown and small black bear sit back to back in quiet thought. Although in nature these two animals are enemies, Fredericks portrays the two in a gentle humanistic way, stressing tolerance. Notice the differences in the bears’ ears and noses. Also if you look closely at the small bear’s knees you will notice a tear drop sculpting style, known as one of Fredericks’ trademarks. Carson Pirie Scott & Company originally commissioned Two Bears for Lincoln Square, a shopping center in Urbana, Illinois.

Title A name given to the resource The Boy and Bear [Bronze] Subject The topic of the resource Animal sculpture--20th century Figure sculpture, American--20th century Description An account of the resource Fredericks was one of six artists commissioned to design sculpture for Northland Shopping Center in Southfield. At the time it opened in 1954, Northland was the country's largest shopping center as well as the first regional shopping center. The architects planned for sculpture to play an important role in the shopping center's courts and malls. It is obvious that Fredericks designed this sculpture with children in mind. As with his other large animal sculptures, he gave the bear a benevolent quality so it would not frighten children. This bear could be a child's best friend. The contrast of the massive body of the bear with the almost frail body of the boy on his back emphasizes this special relationship. The bear's head is down, communicating only amicable intentions. Its erect ears and furrowed brow suggest interest in a viewer at this low eye level. Frederick's portrayal of the bear is not totally realistic, but like several of his other sculptures of animals, he has portrayed the bear as in a child's imagination. The sculpture at Northland still attracts as much attention today as when it was first placed there, pleasing children and adults alike. Despite similarities between this sculpture and the characters in Walt Disney's movie The Jungle Book, Fredericks disavows any influence from Walt Disney or Rudyard Kipling, the author of The Jungle Book which was originally published in 1894. Fredericks has said that he simply wanted to make a sculpture of a boy and bear because it would be fun In a display case at the front of the gallery is a smaller and earlier version of this sculpture in bronze. A cast similar to this is on display in the children's room of the Grosse Pointe Public Library. Cast in 1988.

Main Exhibit Gallery Provenance 11/19/1987 gifted to MFSM Notes From Jennifer Lentz (Collection Documentation Intern 1991-1992) Memo dated July 30, 1991 "RE: Boy and Bear On July 26, 1991 Molly told me there is a small scale Boy and Bear bronze located inside the Grosse Pointe library." August 7, 1991 FROM: Jennifer Lentz, Intern Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Gallery RE: Boy and Bear at Grosse Pointe Central Library There is a small "Boy and Bear" located in their children's room. It is on book marks sold there and it has become the logo for the Friends of the Grosse Pointe Public Library. It was donated in memory of Helen Hines Thomas by her friends from the Detroit Industrial school. In the library's vertical file is one small article about the sculpture. We do not know the date of this object at this time. Facts: -relates to Rudyard Kipling's Novel The Jungle Book published in 1894. An illustration in an original Kipling book looks very much like Marshall's sculpture. -claimed it relates to a Norwegian novel his grandmother told him. -Fredericks said that this had no relation to Kipling's Jungle Book movie by Disney as it was modeled before the Disney movie was made (1954). National Archives Interview with Marshall Fredericks: "Well, as you know, the first shopping mall was Victor's Gruen's Northland; that was the first one in the world, I guess. He and his staff were very art conscious and they thought that sculpture would really enhance the architecture and they were right because it made architecture more personal and related to people better. People don't like to go shopping in just a cement building, you know; they really don't. If it has something that appeals to their eye and is more friendly and warm and maybe has a little fun connected with it I think they enjoy it more. That was the reason I did The Bear and the Boy there; that was the first piece ever done for a shopping center. I wanted to reach people who would come there to shop and the people who come there to shop basically are people, mothers and fathers, especially mothers with their children and I think over the years it's attracted an awful lot of children and that attracts mothers, as mothers buy dresses, you know. So it worked. The same with the Lion and The Mouse." Molly Barth copy: The next plaster model is titled, "The Boy and the Bear." J. L. Hudson commissioned Mr. Fredericks to do this piece also. The bear is carved in limestone and the boy is cast in bronze and then gold-plated. This is located at Northland shopping Center, in Southfield, MIchigan. Northland was the first mall, as we know malls today in the nation. It was originally outside, but as the mall grew, it is now was located inside, just outside one of the entrances to Hudsons. This took Mr. Fredericks start-to-finish three years, and it was dedicated in 1954. As I mentioned, the one that's at Northland, the bear is carved in limestone, and here in the plaster model, you can see it; we think of stone as being cold and hard, Mr. Fredericks really goes against nature, and he has created this bear, and when you look at him, you think of really as being very friendly, very huggable. You get the feeling that if you squeezed one of his ears, which you can't here with the plaster model, but if you were able to, that it would be very soft, it's amazing what Mr. Fredericks can create out of nature, and just create this bear that looks so soft. We also have "The Boy and Bear," that's cast in bronze, that was donated, and it's outside in the Sculpture Garden. From 1995 Mary Iorio of Cranbrook, interview with Fredericks: Fredericks said, "Well, the Boy and the Bear was made for a shopping center. I made it 40 years ago. I put the Boy and Bear up. This sculpture student was upset because she didn't think it looked like a grizzly bear. 'It should have a nose like this and eyes like this.' So I said, 'I know exactly what a bear looks like. But I don't want to show that aspect of a bear.' I wanted to show the bear as a cuddly, friendly and lovable kind of bear. I said, 'It's not a real bear, it's a play bear.'"

Title A name given to the resource The Boy and Bear [Plaster] Subject The topic of the resource Animal sculpture--20th century Description An account of the resource The Boy and Bear, 1954 Plaster original Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall M. Fredericks 1991.006 Fredericks was one of six artists commissioned by the J.L. Hudson Company to design sculpture for Northland Center in Southfield, Michigan. At the time it opened in 1954, Northland was the country's largest shopping center as well as the first regional shopping center. In a 1981 National Archives Interview, Fredericks states: "Well, as you know, the first shopping mall was Victor's Gruen's Northland; that was the first one in the world, I guess. He and his staff were very art conscious and they thought that sculpture would really enhance the architecture and they were right because it made architecture more personal and related to people better.

So it worked. The same with the Lion and the Mouse." Despite similarities between this sculpture and the characters in Walt Disney's movie The Jungle Book, Fredericks' disavows any influence from Walt Disney or Rudyard Kipling, the author of The Jungle Book which was originally published in 1894. Fredericks has said that he simply wanted to make a sculpture of a boy and bear because it would be fun. A bronze of this scale can be found in the Sculpture Garden. The Northland sculpture was carved in limestone and the boy is cast in bronze and is gold-plated.

Title A name given to the resource The bronze "Nordic Swan and the Ugly Duckling" (Hans Christian Andersen Fountain) - Danish Embassy in Washington D.C. Subject The topic of the resource Animal sculpture--20th century. Bronze sculpture, American--20th century. Embassy buildings--Washington (D.C.) Fountains. Fredericks, Marshall M., 1908-1998 Outdoor sculpture--United States. Description An account of the resource This sculpture represents Fredericks' interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen's popular story, The Ugly Duckling. Unlike Fredericks' portrayals of other literary subjects, this sculpture illustrates not one moment in the story, but two. Fredericks placed the unhappy duckling driven from place to place because of his ugliness at the base of the fountain. Located above is the beautiful swan he grew to be. Fredericks emphasized the difference between the young and mature bird. The earthbound duckling is awkward and heavy, with stubby wings and tail while the swan soars overhead in an open form which appears almost weightless. Fredericks originally conceived this sculpture for the Danish Village retirement home in Rochester Hills, Michigan. A bronze cast of this sculpture is located in Skælskor, Denmark where Hans Christian Andersen lived and penned “The Little Mermaid,” “The Ugly Duckling,” and many other children’s stories.
