Art of Remembrance: The History of Veterans Memorials
🎙️ In honor of Armed Forces Day (May 17, 2025) and the upcoming Memorial Day (May 26, 2025), we're revisiting this meaningful Big Blend Radio conversation with artist and art historian Victoria Chick.
In this episode, Victoria explores the evolution of Veterans Memorials in the United States, from their 19th-century beginnings to the powerful tributes we see today. She explains how, historically, memorials focused on glorifying victories or honoring rulers — and how that shifted to commemorating the sacrifice and service of individual soldiers.
🎨 Learn about the art, symbolism, and cultural significance behind some of America’s most notable veterans memorials.
