Boris Blai (July 24, 1893 – June 28, 1985) was an American sculptor. His work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics.[1]
In 1935, Blai founded and became the dean of the Stella Elkins Tyler School of Art, which is now part of Temple University.[2] Two of Blai's sculptures are publicly accessible on the Temple campus: a large bust of Temple's founder Russell Conwell which decorates Conwell's grave site, and a small statue of Johnnie Ring, Conwell's orderly during the Civil War.
