About Boris Lovet-Lorski
Lithuanian-born Lovet-Lorski was trained in St.Petersburg before coming to America. Establishing himself in Boston in 1920, he immediately had a one-man show. The sculptor is probably best known for his colossal heads: Charles De Gaulle (Hôtel de Ville, Paris), John Foster Dulles (Dulles International Airport), John F. Kennedy, and others. He also worked in rare stones and worked with highly polished surfaces. Lovet-Lorski taught at the Layton School of Art in Milwaukee.
Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) began as a student of philosophy and theology. In addition, he was an organist who wrote a life of Bach, as well as a doctor of medicine. He and his wife moved to the Gabon province of French Equatorial Africa where he became known for his devotion to his own hospital and a leper colony. Schweitzer also wrote on the Apostle Paul (1930) and published The Problem of Peace in the World Today (1954), two years after winning the Nobel Peace Prize. |
