Title A name given to the resource Arts of Peace Description An account of the resource In 1930, the Arlington Memorial Bridge Commission selected James Earle Fraser to design a pair of statues representing peace. Lack of funding during the Great Depression delayed the project until 1935. To curb costs, Fraser worked in bronze rather than granite. The sculpture models were completed in 1938, but were not cast completely due to wartime demands for bronze. In 1949, the Italian government offered to cast the sculptures as a gift to thank the United States for aid after World War II. The statues were dedicated in September 1951.
