" Bronze 1911 - A prime exam­ple of Polasek’s mas­tery of the human form, the dra­mat­i­cally mod­eled fig­ure of the Sower has a clas­si­cally inspired face and a strong, mus­cu­lar body. Using as his inspi­ra­tion the para­ble of Jesus about the sower?–?“a sower went forth to sow”?–?Polasek’s inter­pre­ta­tion shows a man scat­ter­ing the seed of good through­out the world. Sower won an Hon­or­able Men­tion in the spring 1913 Paris Salon." Text Source: (visit link)
