While Arnold Friberg was still a student at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, he learned of a major competition known as the Prix de Rome, and he decided to compete.
A prize of two years of study at the American Academy of Rome was awarded for excellence in sculpture, music, architecture, mural painting, and formal landscape design. Friberg wanted to compete in mural painting.
In 1940, Friberg entered the required number of art pieces that he hoped would either win or at least give him the needed experience to take the prize during his next three years of eligibility. But the impending war would make his first such competition his last. His entry did not win, but he was told that all works submitted would be displayed in New York City.
