Main Exhibit Gallery Provenance 1987 July,1 Gift to Museum and SVSU Board of Control Notes On the wall, we have the "Veterans' Memorial Eagle," this is just the quarter scale. As we go along through the Gallery, I'll be mentioning, quarter-scale, 1/3 scale, or full-scale. This one, as I mentioned, is the "Eagle" from the Veterans' Memorial Building that's down there on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, which runs parallel with the Detroit River. This is just the quarter-scale eagle. The Eagle that's on the Veterans' Building is 30 feet tall, and it projects out four feet from the facade of the building. The Eagle, when it was originally quarried--it was carved from Vermont marble, and when it was quarried, there were 11 blocks and all together, they weighed 210 tons. The largest ever quarried, the largest block ever quarried, was quarried for this eagle; that alone weighed 86 tons. This was quarried in Danbury, Vermont. There's a large mountain there and they pulled this one block out that weighed 86 tons, and they got it out into the sunlight, and they saw that there was a slight flaw in it, so instead of taking the risk that it might crack, they chose to quarry, Mr. Fredericks did, to quarry another one just as large as that one that weighed 86 tons. The "Eagle," as you hurtle by automobile on Jefferson Avenue catches your eye. It really personalizes the building; the wings of the "Eagle," forming a "V" for victory, and, of course, for veterans. And then, in his talons, his claws, he is holding the laurel and the palm, which stand for glory and for victory. There are also seven free-standing pylons, as you walk up to the building, each telling a different story of American history. We have two pylons here in the Gallery. The pylon on the right that flanks the eagle is the "Civil War "pylon. On it you see Abraham Lincoln and the parting of the North and South, and General Grant and General Lee. The pylon on the left is the French explorer, Cadillac. Of course, the French founded Detroit in 1701. Beneath Cadillac on the pylon is Father Gabriel Richard. Both of these pylons give an example of incised, low-relief carving. They are carved into the marble, as opposed to the "Eagle" where it's coming out at you. The pylons were also carved in Vermont marble. Later the city of Detroit, without Mr. Fredericks' knowledge, they moved the pylons, and now they are parallel with the building. Before they formed, sort of a right angle, so they gave almost a one-point perspective. They also, without notifying Mr. Fredericks, they sand-blasted them, they thought that was the proper way of cleaning them, but they could not have done a worse thing to them, because sand-blasting actually bit into the stone and removed some of the very fine detail of the carving. Mr. Fredericks really did personalize the building, and he worked right along with the architect. His work is "public sculpture." Really, architecture and sculpture go hand-in-hand. They had to design a special support-system for the "Eagle" that was built right into the wall, the facade of the building. Really, Mr. Fredericks wears many hats, an engineer, and architect and, of course, master sculptor. Let me tell you a story. When they were hoisting one portion of the left wing of the "Eagle," the cable where the crane was lifting it, the cable snapped, and down went one portion of that wing, but luckily, it was just swallowed in the construction mud, and they were able to rinse it off and just lift it back up there, but if it had cracked, and Mr. Fredericks had delayed the construction crew, he would have had to pay for every day that he delayed them. But luckily, that didn't happen. You don't realize the hurdles that you really have to get over, you know, putting these large, monumental pieces up. The Veterans' Memorial Building was dedicated in 1950. I will check that date, but I'm pretty sure that's it. It took him four years from start to finish for the "Eagle" and the pylons, but he also did another, the "Seal of the United States" that's right to the side of the entrance to the Veterans' Memorial Building. It's on the red granite marble wall, and then the bronze casting of the "Great Seal of the United States," that's there by the entrance to the building. From 1995 Mary Iorio of Cranbrook, interview with Fredericks: In describing the building for the sculpture he said, "It was a war memorial and there were windows all the way across the whole building on all four sides and there was a little space for the relief. I saw it and I didn't say anything. But I made a scale model out of wood and took all the windows off the front and put the eagle on there. The architect came out to see it and was really pleased. He changed all the drawings. Otherwise, I don't think I would have ever gotten that job."

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.
