Fredericks 1991.109 The style of this relief differs from the other works in the Museum. It is very detailed because the Seal of the United States is a standard design. It was established in 1782 to symbolize sovereignty. The American eagle, with an escutcheon, or shield, on its breast, symbolizes self-reliance. The thirteen vertical stripes on the escutcheon came from the flag of 1777. The eagle grasps an olive branch with 13 leaves and 13 olives in its right talon and 13 arrows in its left. (13 represent the number of US states in 1777.) It prefers to live in peace but can wage war. In its beak is a scroll. It is not inscribed here but it is usually inscribed "E pluribus unum", or "One out of many". Above its head is the 13-star "new constellation" of the 1777 flag, enclosed in a glory, or golden radiance, breaking through a cloud. The relief was cast in aluminum and is located at the American Embassy in London, England.

Fredericks 1991.110 This relief was commissioned for the St. John's Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In a letter from Mr. Harold Gerbers to Marshall dated February 25, 1960, it states: "Dear Mr. Fredericks, National Sculpture Society, through Mr. Witherspoon has presented me with literature pertaining especially to beautiful work that you have completed. I had requested help in possibly having a bas-relief depicting Christ with the children at his feet on the façade of our proposed new school. After seeing pictures of tremendously fine works of art that you have done for future generations to enjoy, I hesitate to even ask such a famous person to consider our request. Having Christ stand out on the front of our school with small children at his feet with maybe a child on his knee would be a tremendous feature of our Lutheran school where Christ would be a main part of all subjects taught. I have no idea what cost would be and materials would depend on the cost. My hope is that with the bit of material I am submitting that you might possibly give me a rough estimate as to cost on several possibilities. We are not a wealthy congregation and our school is quite an undertaking for us. People probably won't like "extras" but maybe some of us could undertake paying for the proposed project if it does not frighten us all together with "figures" out of reach. Thank you for your consideration. Cordially, Harold H. Gerbers" Fredericks, of course, accepted the commission. Another bronze of this same relief is on the facade of the Museum in the Sculpture Garden.

On the label it was dated c. 1950. Our records from Cranbrook (?) indicate it is from 1958 as is the plaster original in the gallery. This small-scale version looked like an early sketch model as the surface was not smooth and the details were not defined. I didn't measure it but it looked to be about 12 x 10 inches. Since it appears to be a sketch model it could be from earlier than 1958 but I would like to verify this date." May 16, 1995 a small Childhood Friends was auctioned at Frank Boos Auction House in Birmingham, MI for about $1700. Presage estimate was $1200 - $1600. Mr. Fredericks signed the work before the auction.

Fredericks 1991.111 This playful relief created with children in mind, infuses fantasy with whimsey and warmth. It is located on the facade of the Jefferson Elementary School in Wyandotte, Michigan. The plaster model was painted green to mimic the patina on the bronze; plus Fredericks didn't want everything in the Museum to be white. In 1993, the six-foot sculpture at the school was restored by a conservation firm through the efforts of the parent-teacher organization. Fredericks, then age 85, visited the class and explained the lost wax process for creating sculptures. The children wrote stories about the sculpture and reports about their understanding of creating sculptures. This sculpture was featured, along with the sketches, on the September 1954 issue of American Artist. Fredericks used two of his children as models for the figures. In a transcript copy found in the Museum archives it states: "The two children sitting close to each other were seated against a friendly bear, who was surrounding them protectively as if curious (about) what kind of cubs they might bye(His designs) are fresh and appealing, without being sentimental and not at all like the work of anyone else."

Main Exhibit Gallery Provenance 1987 July, 1 Gift to Museum and SVSU Board of Control Notes Bronze was cast by Bedi-Rassy Art Foundry From Jennifer Lentz (Collection Documentation Intern 1991-1992) Memo dated April 3, 1992 "RE: Indian and Wild Swans The cast on the exterior of the Milwaukee Public Museum is mounted on white Georgian marble. It was cast by the Bedi-Rassy Art Foundry." MF archives: Sculpture located at Milwaukee Public Museum on façade of building in bronze. One swan appears in our museum because of space constrictions but there are four swans in formation. The actual title according to Fredericks is "Algonquian Indian and (Whistling) Swans". Fredericks states that this work symbolizes the freedom and beauty of nature in the Great Lakes Area. Image symbols: Algonquian: North American Native American tribe formerly found along the Ottawa River and Northern tributaries of the St. Lawrence. Swan (whistling): Native to America, its scientific name is Cyghus Columbianus. Folklore states that Native Americans would not eat the flesh of the swan because it was destined to carry the soul of the dead into eternity. Four: The number four in Native American culture symbolizes balance and harmony. Molly Barth copy: The next relief on the wall, the next plaster relief is titled, "The Milwaukee Indian and Four Wild Swans," and they're located on the Milwaukee Public Museum, The Natural History Museum, and of course, we just have the one swan here, but they span an area of 36 feet. These plaster models are the full size of the bronzes that are located on the facade of the building there. You'll notice that the Indian isn't shooting an arrow at the swan, his bow is turned the opposite direction. To the Indians, the swan is the symbol of eternal life, they believe when they die, their spirit flies up on the back of the swan to the Great Spirit, so you really get the feeling, the way the hands are outreached, that the swan is a spiritual symbol to the Indian. From Archives, written by Melissa Ford: Marshall Fredericks frequently used the figure of a swan in his sculptures. Many cultures feature swans in their mythology and folklore. Swans have come to symbolize fidelity and purity and are associated with music, poetry and divination. Fredericks often employed the swan as a symbol of resurrection and eternal life in his sculptures. Wings of the Morning, Freedom of the Human Spirit, and Indian and Wilds Swans as well as several other works feature swans. It seems that Fredericks' possessed a deep love and appreciation for these beautiful and graceful creatures. Besides sculpting swans, Fredericks played an integral role in a swan nesting project during the 1960s. As a civic gesture to his hometown of Birmingham, Michigan, Fredericks presented two pairs of swans to the city. The Australian Black and White Mute swans made their home in Quarton Lake located in the heart of the city. Unfortunately, several of the birds did not fare well in their new surroundings had to be replaced by the city of Birmingham. During the 1970s, in order to protect the swans and encourage nesting, the parks department constructed a bird sanctuary in the middle of the lake. This tiny floating island, constructed of several government surplus "life rafts", was approximately thirty-five feet in diameter and covered in a vegetative screen of wild grasses and rushes. Each winter, the swans would be removed from the lake and provided with shelter by the parks department until spring when they would return to the water. The swans would then spend the rest of spring, summer and early fall on Quarton Lake being enjoyed by passing residents and visitors. As Fredericks' home in Birmingham overlooked Quarton Lake, it is quite plausible that one of these birds served as a real life inspiration for the swans often found in Marshall Fredericks' work.

Title A name given to the resource Indian and Wild Swans [Plaster] Subject The topic of the resource Figure sculpture, American--20th century Animal sculpture--20th century Description An account of the resource INDIAN AND WILD SWANS, 1964 Maquette Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall M. Fredericks 1994.068 This presentation model seen in the case was made in 1962, for the building committee of the Milwaukee Public Museum shows Fredericks' design for a monumental Indian and four wild swans commissioned for the facade of the new museum building. The small maquette illustrates the whole composition. The large Indian provides a more detailed representation of the main figure. The forms and textures of the model were not reproduced precisely in the full-size sculpture, as can be seen by comparison with the plaster of the enlarged Indian on the east wall of the Museum, but the presentation model served its purpose of communicating the preliminary design to the architects and owners of the building. The sculpture group was installed in December 1963, but the dedication didn't occur until 1964. Fredericks stated of the design, that the swans, "complement the simple surface (of the wall) with just the right dignified accent…(they are) stylized, artistic representations of the natural swan (having worked) with numerous studies from live specimens." The actual title according to Fredericks is "Algonquian Indian and (Whistling) Swans". Fredericks states that this work symbolizes the freedom and beauty of nature in the Great Lakes area. Each of the four swans in the completed bronze commission weighs about ½ ton and the Indian weighs just over a ton. Only one swan appears in the museum because of space constrictions.

Fredericks 1991.113 This gold anodized, cast aluminum sculpture is installed on the front of the building of the Central United Methodist Church located at 3882 Highland Road in Waterford, Michigan. The idea for this sculpture began during the summer of 1961 during a conversation with the minister of the church, Milton H. Bank. Fredericks worked directly with Elbert M. Wilmot, the representative from the church with respect to the proposal for this project. The aluminum was cast at Racine Foundry and Manufacturing Co. and the anodizing was completed at Allied Enterprises, Inc., both of Detroit, Michigan. The sculpture was completed and installed by winter 1963. The church adopted the motto, "The Church of the Good Shepherd" reflecting how the congregation has embraced the iconic nature of the story of this sculpture.

Title A name given to the resource Lamb, Siesta [Bronze] Subject The topic of the resource Animal sculpture--20th century Description An account of the resource Lamb Bronze Fredericks created the clay model for these casts in the 1930's when his work was characterized by a more naturalistic treatment of surface textures than during his earlier years. The sketchy finish of these reclining animals evokes the roughness of their woolen coats. Shadows in the crevices contrast with highlights on the upper surfaces, thus animating the sculptural forms. Close comparison of the two sculptures reveals a difference in the surface details. The sculptor's treatment of the fur at the animals ankles is more precise on the Lamb on the left, and several letters of the sculptor's signature are missing on the Lamb on the right. This may be the result of deterioration of the rubber molds used to make the wax models for these lost wax castings. According to the artist, the bronze on the left was cast in the 1930's by Amos Mazzolini at the Antiock College in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The other cast was probably made about 1988. Like many of Fredericks' bronzes, neither have foundry marks. The Lamb on the left was a gift on the Estate of Rogers I. Marquis in 1993.

Main Exhibit Gallery Notes FROM JOY COLBY INTERVIEW MF It's sort o a great big smooth frog and it has great big round polished gold eyes that are half a sphere and they're just like mirrors so when you look in them you can see yourself all distorted like you do in a circus. So every time you go there you see all this. It worked out fine. So I did three, that's all. I did another one but it was of a dragon, I called it The Friendly Dragon. The architect said he didn't think he would use it because he said the children would be frightened of a dragon. But children love dragons and it's not an ugly dragon, it's a friendly dragon with a big smile and it's cozy and you can sit on its back on those humps on its back. It's just that he never was a child, I guess, so he doesn't know. So they put up a thing, a structural beam thing. I've never seen a child near it so maybe they didn't get the audience that they wanted really. I think maybe I'll do that Dragon. I like dragons anyway, they're special. JC Why are dragons special to you? MF Well, Rozzie- one time I guess it was when I was sixty, Rozzie and the children got Earl Krentzin to make a walking stick for me with a dragon on top, which I love. And because she said that all these things, like all these big commissions which, you know, could kill you almost believe me the problems, Joy, are so manifold you can't believe in a thing like that Cleveland fountain… And to do it all alone, I mean without a big staff or anything, or if I were some company that does it for you like they do today, you know, their sculpture things are manufactured things, the things I do are sculpture things. And she said that all these things have been dragons that I've fought against, you know. And in a way that's really true, they been sort of dragons that you have to conquer and slay one way or another.
