A granite mountain near the mine in BlackHills, South Dakota is named "Mount Rushmore" after the surname, which is also the origin of its name. Several decades later, the construction plan of Mount Rushmore National Memorial Park was officially launched, and rushmore also donated $5,000. The original intention of building sculptures on Mount Rushmore was to attract more people to visit Mount Braque. However, this construction plan triggered a long-term debate between the US Congress and then President CalvinCoolidge. Finally, the construction plan was approved by Congress. The construction of the whole project started at 1927 and ended at 194 1. Today, Mount Rushmore is not only a world-class tourist attraction, but also a symbol of the American president in American culture. At the same time, under the influence of contemporary pop culture, Mount Rushmore has also spawned many other meaning.

Edit the history of this statue.

The colossus of Mount Rushmore can be said to be 20? It is a masterpiece of human sculpture in the 20th century, created by the famous American artist Shajian Bogren. 1927? 1998, President Coolidge announced that Mount Rushmore would be transformed into a national memorial, and the carving work began at the same time. At that time, Bochum was over 60 years old, but he devoted all his efforts and energy to this unprecedented artistic masterpiece Mount Rushmore.

The whole project is intermittent because of funds and weather. 194 1? 1920, when the project was nearing completion, the master artist Bokron died. His son Lincoln inherited his father's business and finally completed it at 194 1? At the end of the year, this world-famous project was completed. ? Four on Mount Rushmore? A huge statue vividly depicts 4? The image, characteristics and ways of the president. ? Washington is like a bust, its head is carved into a circle. The collar on the left is embossed, retaining the original mountain shape, and the collar on the right is embossed. The shoulders and chest are roughly carved because of the mountain shape. Therefore, the image of the five senses on the head of the whole statue is prominent, clear and concentrated. I saw Washington looking at the distance peacefully, with his mouth closed and his brow slightly locked, showing a serious and firm expression, as if he were full of confidence in victory. The portrait of Washington is 4? The only bust in the giant portrait, where are the other three? People only carve images of their heads. ? On the right of Washington statue is Jefferson statue. Jefferson was one of the famous drafters of the Declaration of Independence. This statue highlights his grace and wisdom as a pioneer of American national and democratic revolution. His hair is bent, his forehead is prominent, his eyes are bright, his head is slightly tilted, his mouth is slightly sipped, and his courage and strength are revealed from his leisure. ? The statue of Roosevelt is on the right of Jefferson. He and Lincoln only carved their faces, and the back of their heads was connected with the Rocky Mountains, but their necks and chests were not carved. Roosevelt's head and jaw were slightly closed, his lips were covered with a thick and short moustache, his eyes were deep, his eyebrows were locked, his face was angular, and he wore a pair of beautiful glasses, which was in sharp contrast to the resolute shapes of Washington and Jefferson. ? 4? On the far right of the statue is Lincoln, a great man deeply loved by black Americans and the lower classes. This statue highlights his serious personality. ? This group of giant statues not only highlights everyone's personality characteristics, but also skillfully combines them into a unified composition. If arranged in chronological order, Roosevelt should be behind Lincoln, but for artistic reasons, Roosevelt was placed on Lincoln's left to make it more different from the statues on both sides. 4? Although the faces of the statues are not facing a focal point, they all look at the distance, arranged at the same height, with three on the left? The horizontal lines below the neck of the statue are all coherent, hiding 3? Man's chest and shoulders are integrated and organically unified, which strengthens the connection between the statue's shape and god. ? The composition of the stone carvings on Mount Rushmore has changed many times, mainly because the granite in the inner layer of the rock has cracks or flaws. Because it is difficult to find the rock condition of the inner layer outside, the composition has to be changed when carving the inner layer. 1930? Seventh grade? April 4th? The statue of Washington was finished first, and then the statue of Jefferson was in big trouble. The position of the statue was changed again and again until 1936? Eighth year? 30th month? It's only done in Japan. After 1937? Ninth grade? Month 17? Lincoln stone statue completed, 1939? Seventh grade? February second? The stone statue of Roosevelt is finished. In the whole project, 9? The second major change, stone removal 10? More than ten thousand tons. 4? After the completion of the three statues, Pokron put himself into the overall treatment to strengthen the connection between the four statues and make this group of statues more harmonious. 194 1? The third year? June 6th? Boglong died before the project was completely completed. ? In the process of stone carving, modern blasting technology was adopted. Careful calculation at the time of explosion shows that the distance between the rock after explosion and the finished product is only 2.5? Cm, showing the exquisite directional blasting technology. It is for this reason that some people call this a panoramic view of Mount Rushmore.

4? The statue was blown up by explosives. The stone statue of Mount Rushmore can be said to be a combination of science and sculpture. ? In order to display the correct 4? In order to prevent the statue from being damaged, tourists are forbidden to climb Mount Rushmore, and visitors can see the stone statue on the observation deck at the foot of the mountain every year. By 9? In the next month, in order to let tourists enjoy this masterpiece at night, there are lighting equipment to watch the stone carving under the light, which naturally has some fun and special artistic effects. ? As early as 1923, a historian named DoaneRobinson proposed to carve a portrait of presidents on Mount Rushmore to attract more tourists to South Dakota. Therefore, in 1924, he persuaded the sculptor GutzonBorglum to investigate the Braque Mountain area to determine whether this area was suitable for this huge carving project. At first, the carving site was the needle in Braque Mountain, where there were many granite columns for carving. Later, however, Borglum found that the granite in the needle had been eroded for many years, and it was difficult to carve such a huge work on it. Mount Rushmore, on the other hand, meets the requirements of sculpture. Borglum once said when he saw Mount Rushmore: "The United States will extend on this horizon." ("American Willmarchalongthatskyline." ) 1925 In March, the US Congress officially approved the construction of Mount Rushmore National Memorial Park. President Coolidge emphasized here that besides indispensable Washington, the other three presidents must be two Republicans and one Democrat. ? From 1927, 10 year1October 4th to194 10 year1October 3rd/kloc-0 day, Gezeng. These four presidents are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, theodore roosevelt and abraham lincoln-they represent the history of the United States 150 years ago. Borglum chose these four presidents because of their important position in American history. ? Since 1933, Mount Rushmore has been under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service. Since then, engineer JulianSpotts has improved some facilities in the project construction. For example, the reinforcement measures he took for construction cranes made it easier for workers to reach the top of Mount Rushmore from the ground. 1On July 4th, 934, Washington's facial sculpture was completed for the first time. Two years later, the statue of Thomas Jefferson was also carved. The third is the statue of abraham lincoln, which was announced to be completed in September 1937. In the same year, someone put forward a bill in Congress, demanding that susan anthony, a civil rights leader, be included in the whole sculpture. However, the plan was aborted because there was an additional clause in the annual budget of the US government at that time, which stipulated that the federal funds invested in this project could only be used for the four sculptures that had already started construction. 1939, the last part of the sculpture, theodore roosevelt's head, was completed. ? From 65438 to 0939, Gezen Borglum directed the establishment of a sculptor's studio to display related miniature plaster models and production tools. 194 1 March, Borglum died of thrombosis. His son LincolnBorglum took over his job and continued to lead the whole project. But seven months after his death, the project was forced to stop due to financial problems. According to the original plan, the statues of the four presidents should all be busts, that is, the sculptures should include all parts above the waist. Due to the stoppage, the statue of Washington has only a bust, while the statues of the other three presidents have only completed the head part. The whole project cost 989,992.32 dollars. It is commendable that no worker died in the process of such a huge project construction. ? 1966 65438+ 10 15, Mount Rushmore was officially listed in the national register of historical place names. 1975, the management set up a special copper pillar in the studio of old Borglum. At the top of the copper column is a copper plaque engraved with an award-winning article written by WilliamAndrewBurkett from Nebraska forty years ago. During the period of 1934, Borglum cooperated with American newspaper tycoon WilliamRandolphHearst to hold an essay contest with prizes in the latter's newspapers to expand the influence of this project. In the end, Birket, who participated in the thesis writing in the university group at that time, became the lucky one. Although his article was not really printed on Mount Rushmore until 1975, this award-winning composition was enough for him to win a four-year university scholarship at that time. Because the whole sculpture was not completed as planned, Mount Rushmore National Memorial Park was not officially completed for a long time. It was not until July 3, 199 1 that Bush, then president of the United States, officially inaugurated Mount Rushmore. And this day happens to be the 50th anniversary of the end of Mount Rushmore sculpture project. ? 1998, the ten-year renovation project of Mount Rushmore came to an end. The final part of the project includes facilities convenient for tourists, such as tourist center, museum, presidential road and pedestrian walkway. The daily maintenance work of the whole park (especially the main sculptures) is quite complicated, among which it is the most difficult to remove the moss and clean the statues, which needs to be carried out frequently. On July 8, 2005, German cleaning machine manufacturer K & amp(K & amp; AumlRcher) gave a free cleaning for the face of the presidential statue. The temperature of high-pressure water used in the cleaning process is as high as 200 degrees Fahrenheit (about 90 degrees Celsius).
