Show Fig. 148 Gravestone rubbing, C. Jay Clark stone. Corinne Cemetery. Pink marble (original). 1973. H: 42.5 cm. W: 62.5 cm. Collection of Utah Arts Council. Increasingly more popular in modern gravestone design is the use of pictures that convey specific information about the deceased, such as occupation, affiliations, and personal interests. This rubbing provides an excellent example of this technique while exemplifying another strong modern trend: the use of symbols illustrating sports and the out-of-doors, reflecting this generation's renewed cult of nature. Fig. 149 Gravestone rubbing, Peter Johansen stone. Castle Dale Cemetery. Light grey marble (original). 1956. H: 45 cm. W: 60 cm. Collection of Utah Arts Council. On the front of this stone is simply engraved the name and dates of the deceased; this rubbing of a horse and rider was taken from the back. The use of the symbols referring to cowpunching and ranching reflect western cultural origins and are frequently used on modern gravestones. 147 |
