Focus on this artwork and analyze the Sculpture.
The statue was created by Jack E. Anderson of Lake Linden, Michigan, who also created a Bishop Baraga sculpture in L'Anse, Michigan. Anderson said that the iron worker's posture represented the weariness of a day spent working in mines.
The Ironman's facial features were taken from the miner Daniel Tolonen, an immigrant from Finland who resided in and is buried in Chisholm MN.  Daniel Tolonen was present with five generations of his family on the day the statue was dedicated July 4, 1987, along with Governor Rudy Perpich and U.S. Representative James Oberstar among the day's speakers. It measures 85 feet (26 m) tall, from the base to the top of the helmet.
