Louis Paul Jonas (July 17, 1894 - February 16, 1971)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wildlifeart.org/collection/artists/artist-louis-paul-jonas-233/ )〕 was an American sculptor of wildlife and a taxidermist. Born in Budapest, Hungary, Jonas moved to the United States at the age of 14 and went to work at his brother's taxidermy studio in Denver, Colorado. Later he moved to New York City, where studied with Carl Akeley, a noted taxidermist and animal sculptor, and worked together to help create the African elephant group in the center of Akeley Hall at the American Museum of Natural History. Jonas founded Louis Paul Jonas Studios, Inc in Mahopac, New York, a company known for its large animal and dinosaur sculptures, museum dioramas, bronze sculptures and animal miniatures. The company created the nine fiberglass dinosaur sculptures at the 1964 New York World's Fair in the "Dinoland" area,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://blog.hmns.org/2009/04/ankylosaurus-at-hmns-40-year-mystery-solved/ )〕 which was sponsored by the Sinclair Oil Corporation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.sinclairoil.com/history/worlds_fair_01.html )〕 Jonas consulted with noted paleontologists Barnum Brown, Edwin H. Colbert and John Ostrom in order to create sculptures that were as accurate as possible at the time. ==Sculptures on display== In 1932, Louis Paul Jonas and his brothers created the taxidermy model of the famous Australian race horse Phar Lap that is now on display at the Melbourne Museum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://museumvictoria.com.au/pharlap/museum/index.asp )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.taxidermy.net/forum/index.php/topic,129459.0.html )〕 A Jonas Studios sculpture of a stegosaurus, "Steggie II", is located in front of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://oosi.sculpturecenter.org/items/show/118 )〕 Uncle Beazley, a model of a triceratops originally created for ''The Enormous Egg'' television show in 1968, is on display at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louis Paul Jonas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
