Biographical Note
Millard Fillmore Malin (1891-1974) was born in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1891. He was a prominent sculptor whose style was primarily realistic. Malin was one of Utah's most prominent sculptors. At the age of seventeen he had fulfilled an LDS mission to New Zealand, not knowing that he would return there as an artist. Malin began his study at the University of Utah where he met his lifetime friend and future associate, Edward O. Anderson, in 1912. Malin was a student of Edwin Evans from 1914 to 1915. Later, Malin quit school and went to work in order to earn money to study art in New York City. After arriving in New York in 1917, he found employment with, and studied under, Herman McNeil at the National Academy of Design. Malin later worked with Gutzon Borglum as an assistant on the Stone Mountain project in Georgia. Malin returned to Salt Lake City in the mid-1920s where he opened a studio with Anderson, who was an architect for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They collaborated on The Sugarhouse Pioneer Monument, which was completed in 1930. Malin also sculpted pieces for the temples for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Los Angeles, Switzerland, England, and New Zealand. Malin taught at the Utah Art Center from 1939 to 1940. Additionally, he, Calvin Fletcher and several other artists formed the Modern Artists of Utah. He died in Salt Lake City in 1974.
