George Segal, a noted sculptor, will cast a series of bronzes memorializing four students killed in the 1970 Kent State shootings, Stewart Schar, chairman of the art department at Kent State University, said yesterday.
The Mildred Andrews Fund of Cleveland proposed the project.
Schar said the university chose Segal to do the work because he was internationally recognized as an important "force in realism," and was "very sensitive to the issue."
Segal said Kent State has given "total aesthetic freedom" in sculpting the statues. Schar said the bronzes will not resemble the actual victims.
