Twin Bears

Born in Polonne, Ukraine, Leo Mol first studied under his father, a commercial potter. He later studied in Vienna and Berlin, before leaving Europe for Canada in 1948, settling in Winnipeg. Although he was trained in a variety of artistic practices, he is best known for his sculptures of both people and animals. Many of his bronze works can be seen in Winnipeg, in the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden in Assiniboine Park.
