J Seward Johnson is an artist famous for his bronze sculptures in Newark, Ohio, including several at the Ohio State University at Newark. One called “The Winner,” depicts a man playing chess. Two of his other works at the Newark campus are of a father and son fishing and a girl lying in the grass. [1] Many of his sculptures on the Newark campus were donated by the Thomas J. Evan Foundation. “Crossing Paths” is another sculpture of two women talking on Newark’s Courthouse Square. [2]
