Treasure Island Sculptors from Gladding McBean

Details

Bruce Marwick, President of the Sacramento Art Deco Society, will tell the story of the Gladding McBean artists who participated in creating many of the public art pieces for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition (GGIE). These artists created sculptures and bas-reliefs for buildings around the United States in the 1920s and early 1930s. In the late 1930s, these same artists were called upon to create monumental and heroic sculptural pieces for the exposition on Treasure Island.
