 rer in Art History, Oklahoma State University<br /><a href="mailto:priscill
 a.schwarz@okstate.edu">priscilla.schwarz@okstate.edu</a></h5><p>Burt W. Joh
 nson (1890-1927), a young artist related to the famous American sculptor Au
 gustus Saint-Gaudens, created significantly distinct World War I memorials.
 &nbsp; This exhibition will feature enlarged photographs of his public comm
 issions and original archival material, including a piece titled November 1
 1th, the date of the armistice signing.</p><p>With studios in Los Angeles a
 nd New York City, Johnson made bronze sculptures for both areas as well out
 side Atlanta. His Huntington Park fountain memorial, apparently the earlies
 t WWI memorial in California, is of a girl bravely clutching the caps of a 
 soldier and sailor. In Garfield Park, Pomona, CA, stands a 7-foot tall hero
 ic pair: an allegorical figure of Pomona handing the Crusader’s sword of Ho
 nor to a determined volunteer.</p><p>In New York City are two unusual Dough
 boy (soldier) figures. While most sculptors depicted fighting or victorious
  Doughboys, Johnson created pensive, contemplative soldiers quietly remembe
 ring their deceased comrades. Flanders Fields bears McCrae’s famous verse o
 n the granite base. Elsewhere, two memorial panels, following a traditional
  mode, bear the names of the deceased watched over by comrades in arms or a
 n allegorical figure. Memorial and Veteran’s Day ceremonies continue to beh
 eld at these public monuments.</p><p>The exhibition will also include works
  by Johnson’s older sister Annetta Johnson St. Gaudens, a pacifist, who pro
 duced a peaceful figure of Victory, and Casey Schwarz, grandson of Johnson,
  who created two abstracted pieces of remembrance and honor. The Fine Arts 
 Building of Los Angeles is home to Johnson’s 1926 exterior cast stone relie
 fs and interior bronze sculptures.</p><h5 style="text-align: center;"><span
