 tate.edu (mailto:priscilla.schwarz@okstate.edu)Burt W. Johnson (1890-1927),
  a young artist related to the famous American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaud
 ens, created significantly distinct World War I memorials.  This exhibition
  will feature enlarged photographs of his public commissions and original a
 rchival material, including a piece titled November 11th, the date of the a
 rmistice signing.\nWith studios in Los Angeles and New York City, Johnson m
 ade bronze sculptures for both areas as well outside Atlanta. His Huntingto
 n Park fountain memorial, apparently the earliest WWI memorial in Californi
 a, is of a girl bravely clutching the caps of a soldier and sailor. In Garf
 ield Park, Pomona, CA, stands a 7-foot tall heroic pair: an allegorical fig
 ure of Pomona handing the Crusader’s sword of Honor to a determined volunte
 er.\nIn New York City are two unusual Doughboy (soldier) figures. While mos
 t sculptors depicted fighting or victorious Doughboys, Johnson created pens
 ive, contemplative soldiers quietly remembering their deceased comrades. Fl
 anders Fields bears McCrae’s famous verse on the granite base. Elsewhere, t
 wo memorial panels, following a traditional mode, bear the names of the dec
 eased watched over by comrades in arms or an allegorical figure. Memorial a
 nd Veteran’s Day ceremonies continue to beheld at these public monuments.\n
 The exhibition will also include works by Johnson’s older sister Annetta Jo
 hnson St. Gaudens, a pacifist, who produced a peaceful figure of Victory, a
 nd Casey Schwarz, grandson of Johnson, who created two abstracted pieces of
  remembrance and honor. The Fine Arts Building of Los Angeles is home to Jo
 hnson’s 1926 exterior cast stone reliefs and interior bronze sculptures.\nT
