Statue of Painting - St. Louis, Missouri - Permanent World Fair and Expo Structures on Waymarking.com

"The symbolic statue is the companion to Daniel Chester French's 'Sculpture.' The pieces were originally produced in plaster. The artists were commissioned to reproduce them in marble to permanently occupy the same location as they had during the fair, with Sculpture on the west and Painting on the east.

Saint-Gaudens trained as a cameo cutter before joining his elder brother, the famous artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens, in his Paris studio. They moved the studio to New York in 1898, and Louis soon went on his own. Saint-Gaudens died before the end of the St. Louis project and his marble figure was completed by his wife, Annetta Johnson." ~ St. Louis Regional Art Commission
