Artist James Earie Fraser was commissioned to create two granite sculptures in 1930. When the Neoclassical statues were erected twenty years later, they were constructed with gilded bronze. Together they are called “The Arts of Peace.” On the left is “Music and Harvest.” On the right is “Aspiration and Literature.” Both portray images of Pegasus, the winged stallion from Greek mythology. The sculptures are located on Rock Creek Parkway near the Arlington Memorial Bridge.
