Sculpture

JAMES EARLE FRASER (1878-1953) exhibited natural skills as a sculptor at a very young age. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago before traveling to Paris where he became an assistant to Augustus Saint-Gaudens. He won many awards and commissions including a bust of Teddy Roosevelt for the U.S. Senate and the design of the 1913 buffalo nickel. His most famous work is the monumental statue, "The End of the Trail" which is now housed in the National Cowboy Museum in Oklahoma City. Click here to learn more about this artist.
