AdamsArtExpose’ GUTZON BORGLUM - SCULPTOR OF AMERICAN HISTORY This was the third visit made to Mount Rushmore that I have experienced over a period of 30 years. Each visit has seen new amenities had been added to the entrance. This visit saw a huge difference in new underground parking areas and a grand entrance into the front of the historic site of four U.S. presidents sculpted into Mount Rushmore near Rapid City, South Dakota. Considering the massive project was started in the 1920’s and not completed until 1942, this may be one of the largest and longest time completion sculptures ever. It was initially commissioned by the governor of South Dakota who saw his state struggling economically during the great dust bowl. Agriculture, one of the primary industries of the state, was greatly depleted from the drought. He came up with the idea of promoting tourism with unusual natural formations such as the Badlands and the Black Hills drawing curious tourists to the state. He had heard of Borglum who had been working on a statue of Robert E. Lee which he was carving into Stone Mountain, Georgia. Borglum had already gained notoriety from his carving of the head of Abraham Lincoln which is displayed in the White House. He had studied in Paris and worked under the famous sculptor Auguste Rodin. When the massive project began on Mount Rushmore the idea was to complete busts of two presidents, Washington and Lincoln, however, the Louisiana Purchase by Jefferson and the Panama Canal purchase under Theodore Roosevelt exemplifying the Manifest Destiny or the empire building ambitions of the United States, encouraged the planners to include these two presidents in the sculpture. Borglum was a controversial figure throughout his life. He was married twice with two children born of his second marriage, a daughter, and son. His son, Lincoln, also a sculptor, completed Mount Rushmore after his father’s death in 1941. Borglum was also involved in politics and earned publicity in a dispute with President Woodrow Wilson after being involved in investigating malpractice in aircraft manufacturing during World War I. Throughout his life he was outspoken and frequently argued with financiers and others involved in supporting his projects. He did, however, leave a legacy of historical monuments representing a visual history of the emerging United States to be seen throughout posterity.
