1910 Sculptures.

August Leimbach (February 12, 1882 - December 18, 1965) was a German-American sculptor. A native of Germany, he studied art and sculpture, and after immigrating to the United States in 1910 he worked passionately as an architectural sculptor. He eventually settled in the St.Louis area.

August Leimbach is best remembered for his work with Arlene B. Nichols Moss and the Daughters of the American Revolution in the creation of the Madonna of the Trail monument in 1927. Twelve monuments were cast and placed in twelve designated cities across the United States, marking the National Old Trails Highway from Bethesda, Maryland to Upland, California. The sculpture itself are representative of the strength, courage, and role of the pioneer woman in establishing the early western territories. Each monument were dedicated in their respective state in 1928 and 1929.

Leimbach died at age 83 and is buried next to his wife Frieda in Michelstadt, Germany.

1910's Art

During the 1910s there were many interesting occurances. It was the time of great change. It was the time when America had become to be considered as a Leader. It was also time of World War One.

Along with the changing world there were changing artists. Artists questioned what art was, and who set the standards for art. This led to them to start the realist movement and paint less than perfect scenes of everyday life. Some people also did impressionist art such as the cubist painter, Max Weber, and impressionist, John Marin. Through out the 1910s the art world changed and grew for the better.
