John Bernard Flannagan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Bernard Flannagan (1895–1942) was born in Fargo, North Dakota. As a sculptor, he worked mainly with fieldstone to carve abstract animals with simplicity and originality. His pieces often reflected the themes of birth, death, and rebirth. After training as a painter at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts from 1914 to 1917, he moved to New York City, where he explored wood carving. Seriously injured in a hit-and-run automobile accident in 1939, Flannagan was no longer able to carve stone sculpture, but continued drawing and painting and had begun to work in wrought bronze. He committed suicide in 1942.
