EspañolSOLON BORGLUM
'Solon Hannibal de la Mothe Borglum' (22 December 1868 - 1922) was an American sculptor.
Born in Ogden, Utah, younger brother of Gutzon Borglum of Mount Rushmore fame. The son of Danish immigrants who settled on the great plains, Solon Borglum spent his early years as a rancher in western Nebraska. Though he later lived in Paris and New York and achieved a reputation as one of America's best sculptors, it was his depiction of frontier life, and especially his experience with cowboys and native American peoples, on which his reputation was founded.
Borglum studied under Louis Rebisso in Cleveland and in Paris. He specialized in depicting people and scenes of the American West.
He moved to the Silvermine neighborhood of New Canaan, Connecticut, where he helped found the "Knockers Club" of artists. His brother, Gutzon, lived in nearby Stamford, Connecticut from 1910 to 1920.
