Felix Wehls de Weldon (1907-2003) was one of the most important American sculptors of the 20th century. Over the course of his distinguished career, he produced more than 1,200 sculptures, examples of which are displayed on every continent, including Antarctica. Specializing in large scale public monuments, De Weldon is perhaps best known for the Marine Corps Memorial near Arlington Cemetery, which depicts the iconic photographic image of Marines raising the American flag on Iwo Jima. In addition to working on grand public projects, De Weldon also accepted commissions for individual busts and medallions, working with many of the most influential figures of the mid 20th century, including Sam Rayburn, John Glenn, and Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson.
