Gutzon Borglum (1867-1941) was an iconoclastic and somewhat eccentric American sculptor. His work, universally excellent by judgment of the art critics, is actually to be seen in many places here in the United States and abroad, but his eternal calling card will always be Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota. which occupied him from 1927 until his death in 1941. His son returned the following year to finish a few details, but essentially left the carvings as his father had last worked on them.

"At this point I don't want to knock a big chunk out, like I did yesterday, at the end of the day and have to file it down. So, I'm just having to take it really slow and careful; and use a lot of these rasps . . . at least to smooth it, if not help form it." ~ Quote by Gutzon BorglumWiki User
