Jo Mora: Sculptor

Jo Mora's Carte of Los Angeles by Nancy W Grossman book cover.

MORA SCULPTED LIFE-SIZE BRONZES such as the one above of Belle Starr in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. He also created many amazingly perfect smaller depictions, be they horses being ridden by polo players or cowboys, or his son Joey Jr. as a toddler breaking in his toy hobby horse. In 1925 he was commissioned to create a commemorative half dollar for the state of California.
