Fountain of the Tritons..
Sculptor: Carl Milles..
Monument to commemorate John Ericsson
and other Swedish
Americans. Ericsson created the "Monitor", the
first iron-clad turret ship, which did battle with the Merrimack in the
Civil War
The book Chicago's Public Sculpture by Ira J. Bach and Mary Lackritz Gray, has some interesting observation on the artist and this sculpture fountain:
“Although Milles studies in Paris, where Auguste
Rodin was one of his teachers, his
fountains and memorials in his
native Sweden and in the US represent
a conscious departure from the
naturalism that dominated
sculpture at the turn of the century...”
“Although Milles studies in Paris, where Auguste
Rodin was one of his teachers, his
fountains and memorials in his native Sweden and in the US represent a conscious
departure from the naturalism that dominated sculpture at the
turn of the century...”
“They reflect the artists independent
spirit, his appreciation of
classical and Gothic sculptures and his very strong Nordic
roots...”
“These qualities are seen in the way
Milles imbued his rather elongated
and stylized Tritons, characters from
Greek mythology, with the spirit of
water deities from Scandinavian chronicles...”
Carl Milles (1875-1955) was a Swedish sculptor, best known for his fountains.
