Description |
English: Alonzo Victor Lewis (1886-1946) came to Seattle in 1920 after graduating from the Art Institute of Chicago. He was primarily known for his sculpture, but was also an excellent painter. He taught sculpture at the University of Washington, and was named Washington Sculptor Laureate by the State Legislature. In 1923, Lewis created a furor in the art world when his oil painting of Jack Dempsey was hung amid landscapes at the Kansas City Art Institute. Among his best-known works are the initially controversial "The Doughboy" at the Seattle Center, and "Victory Memorial" on the state capitol grounds at Olympia. Born in 1863, Ella McBride began working in the photography field in 1909 when she managed the Edward Curtis Studio. She opened her own studio in 1917 with Wayne Albee. Albee moved to San Diego in 1925, and McBride continued to operate a studio in various Seattle locations. In 1932 she partnered with Richard Anderson; they continued to work together until she retired in 1954 due to her failing eyesight. She died in 1965 at the age of 102. This photograph was taken before the McBride-Anderson partnership began; it is not known which partner was the photographer. Handwritten on sleeve: Alonzo Victor Lewis Seattle Sculptor.
The small figure next to Lewis here appears to be a maquette for "American Doughboy Bringing Home Victory". |
