‘... To obtain sketches of moose, Gilbertson followed the animals throughout the Minnesota woods and engaged the help of his wife, who was also an artist.
Gilbertson aimed to combine an accurate representation of the animals with a decorative nuance consistent with the architecture of the building. Carved by air hammer, this decorative effect is achieved through the stylization of the background elements of sky and grass and also in the linear fur of the animals.
Boris Gilbertson was born in 1907 in Evanston, Illinois. He began studying sculpture in 1927 at the Art Institute of Chicago. Gilbertson was a naturalist and focused the majority of his work on animals.’
