This is Lee Lawrie's 1936 Portfolio featuring his sculpture. It might be assumed that these depict his favorite works, inasmuch as he had hundreds, if not thousands of examples from which to choose. Read more on YouTube.

With original music by Bob Perrone, the grandson of Art Deco master Rene Chambellan, and frequent collaborator with Lee Lawrie. This short film takes viewers inside my book "Lee Lawrie's Prairie Deco: History in Stone at the Nebraska State Capitol," and inside the heart of one of the most beautiful buildings in America and the world.

This art deco palace is adorned with the sculpture of Lee Lawrie,(1877-1963). While Lawrie has works all over the United States, in Manhattan, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Los Angeles, his work on the Nebraska State Capitol marks the pinnacle of his 70 year career and was his largest sculptural commission of his life, entailing literally hundreds of architectural sculptures, and other architectural details.

This is a sampling of Lee Lawrie's sculpture at the Nebraska State Capitol from my book, "Lee Lawrie's Prairie Deco."

This was the largest commission that Lawrie ever executed, in his 70 year career. There is such a volume of it, it is easy to overlook some of the finer details.

Here is a bison mother and calf, and bull, from the balustrade of the North Steps of the Nebraska State Capitol.

Less than two years after completing his largest sculptural commission at the Nebraska State Capitol, Lawrie was commissioned to do 14 separate murals and sculptures for Rockefeller Center.

Most of these are flashed upon in the opening credits of the NBC comedy, "30 Rock."

The amazing Wisdom and the mighty Atlas were the sculptures that I learned about in 2000. More specifically that it was then that I learned that the man who did the sculpture back home in Nebraska was the same artist that did these. It was then that I learned just how luck Nebraska was to have managed to land this artist to decorate its magnificent Art Deco state capitol.

Lee Lawrie's mural at Boystown. Father Flanagan is shown in the center. The angel finds an abandoned boy, brings him to Boystown, and with love and support, he becomes a productive member of the community.

This WWI Memorial Flagstaff is located in Pasadena, California, and dates to around 1926. It is of Bronze. Designed by Lee Lawrie.

This animation/modeling of it was created with 123D Catch software, which combined around 80 single photos, and created a model, which it then animated. There is a bug at the end, where the image flips, but I was unable to edit that out, so far.

Lee Lawrie created this sculpture for the building around 1929. It celebrates Florida's beautiful birds. The video is unedited, showing the blunders I made while shooting this drone footage. I figured I'd leave it in because parts of it are nearly comedic. :)

All of the marvelous sculpture on Bok Tower was created by Lee Lawrie, around 1929. The Bok Tower Sanctuary and Gardens are located in Lake Wales, Florida, and they are beautiful. This video is unedited, so is shows all of the mistakes I made while piloting my DJI Mini.

Here is my unedited drone footage shot with my DJI Maverick Mini. As it shows, I was having some problems.

Chris Lawrie, Great-Grandson of Lee Lawrie, sent me a package today. It contained three maquettes, plaster models, from the sculpture at Harrisburg's Education building.
