Frances Loring and Loring
Wyle
Sculptors Frances Loring
(1887-1968) and Loring Wyle (1881-1968) were born in the United States
mid west. They met in 1907 while art students in Chicago and moved
to Toronto in 1913. Their home and studio near here at 110 Glenrose
Avenue was a centre for artists, academics and students for 48 years.
In 1918 they sculpted a series of figures of workers in the munitions industry
for Canadian war memorials. Loring designed the lion and and Wyle
the portrait reliefs of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth for the Queen
Elizabeth Way Lion Monument noe located in Gzowski Park. The works
of these colourful artists are represented in the Art Gallery of Ontario,
the National Gallery and the War Museum in Ottawa, and on many public and
private buildings in Ontario. Their contribution is recognized, at
the request of the Moore Park Residents' Association by this park, named
in their honour.
