Station of the Cross (1939) is his monument. Emily M.K. Polasek died in 1988. Selected works Polasek's better-known works include the Theodore Thomas Memorial (1924), the 1941 memorial to Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk in Chicago, the Wilson Memorial (1928), Radegast (1929) and Sts. Cyril and Methodius (1929) in the Czech Republic. His Mother Crying Over the World (1942) was a response to World War II and his Victory of Moral Law (1956) to the Hungarian Revolution. Cemetery monuments Like many other sculptors of his era, Polasek created several cemetery memorials. Notable among these are The Pilgrim and The Mother (1927), both located in the Bohemian National Cemetery in Chicago, and the Pilgrim at the Eternal Gate in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio. Pictures of all three are featured in both biographies listed in the sources section. Images See also Forest Idyll Literature JAEGEROVÁ, Anna. Albín Polášek: Boundaries of Continents and Ages.
