History of Sculptor Don Frost
Peterborough born Don Frost had his future path laid out for him by
winning first prize in a city wide art exposition at age six in grade one.
The following year at age seven, Don had a group showing at the
Peterborough Public Library. Public school had its usual trials and
tribulations and it was not until grade 10 that Don discovered that he
was color blind to all but the primary colors. At this point Don’s life
took a right turn and sculpture was all that he focused on. Don teamed
up with a friend in grade 11 who became his art agent and they
enjoyed considerable success in the Peterborough area. After
high school Don took some time off to do his art and apprentice as a
mechanic for a year. In 1973-1974 he attended Sheridan Art College
followed by a decision to become a professional sculptor having just
received a major commission for a large 15' tall sculpture for a new
mall being built in Peterborough, Ontario. This was followed by the
creation of the largest sculpture in Canada in 1983 by winning a
competition for an indoor work for the Michael Starr Building in
Oshawa, Ontario. Always seeking new outlets for art Don acquired an
art agent in Ottawa which led to an introduction to a patron who kept
Don busy creating more than 40 sculptures in a period of twenty years.
Don’s work internationally was recently a commission for four large
works for a garden in Club Medjulis in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Previous
to this in an expansive design project by the late King Hussein for a
1.6 km wall of huge relief panels commemorating the history of
Jordan, Don’s work on six of these panels was accepted by King
Abdullah. Experiencing greater notoriety for the global uniqueness of
his art, Don was presented with awards from Peterborough County and
commemorated in the Walk of Fame. Presently Don has art
representatives across the United States and Canada and one on-
ground/online gallery in Turkey just for pure fun. “I always thought
Turkey for Christmas would be the perfect vacation.”
The greatest work of Don’s career now stands as “The Resurrection
Cross” outside the Catholic School Board office on Lansdowne Street
in Peterborough, Ontario.

- Patriotic Eagle Bronze Sculpture After Jules MoigniezBy Jules MoigniezLocated in Colorado Springs, COPresented is a 20th century bronze sculpture, after Jules Moigniez, of an eagle on a rocky perch. The dignified eagle has its wings tucked and his head turned to the side, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. Textured feathers, a rugged base, and sharp talons show Moigniez’s artistry at the lost wax process. The bronze sculpture sits atop a marble base. Jules Moigniez (1835-1894) was a French sculptor widely known for his highly detailed bronze works depicting dynamic wildlife. After studying under Paul Cromolera, Moigniez made a name for himself at his first exhibition in 1855 at the Paris Exposition Universelle. From 1859 to 1892, he showed regularly at the annual Saloons, with a total of 30 recorded works exhibited. A successful sculptor in France, Moignez increased his British and American collector base by exhibiting at the London International Exhibition of 1862. Intensely dedicated to the process of casting, Jules and his father decided to establish their own foundry in 1857, solely for the purpose of having complete control at every step, as well as the freedom to experiment. They created bronzes with unusually and unique finishes, experimenting in gilded, silver, and multi-color chemical patinas. Most of his works were cast using the lost-wax patina and were always chiseled and chased with great skill and care. While many bronze artists at the time focused solely on the subject, Moigniez incorporated highly detailed bases to accommodate his various animals. After Jules Moigniez’s tragic death in 1894, his father continued to cast his son’s bronzes from the Moigniez foundry. Just before Moigniez’s father also passed away, he sold the foundry and his casts to Auguste Gouge, a family friend who once cast bronzes for Jules' teacher Paul Cromolera. Gouge continued to produce Moigniez’s bronze sculptures until WWI. Eagle sculptures, such as this, gained such popularity in America because of the symbolic and historical meanings associated with the elegant bird. The eagle motif has been widely used throughout American history, most notably as part of our Great Seal. The founders of the United States were fond of comparing their new republic with the Roman Republic, in which eagle imagery was prominent. Since then, the eagle motif has appeared in allegorical engravings...Category
