Are we ever told who these are of? I assume the government, or past leaders but I've never found anything that says who these people are.

I second that.

They were taken directly from the Fallout 1 and 2 artworks and maps.


There are these bigger statues that have a body (like in Pennsylvania avenue) and they all wear suits and ties.

Looks pretty much like politicians and therefore propably former presidents to me.
Maybe the enclave controlled u.s government created some sort of Stalin like person-cult surrounding past presidents by integrating sculptures and statues of them everywhere into the major cities ?

There are also other ones aswell , showing a goddess like women. Artful building architecture (like Gotham City from Batman) is everywhere in the Fallout universe.

In one of the artworks in Fallout 1 , there was a huge statue with a pick or something on one side of a building in Necropolis (Bakersfield)
A sculpture depicting the hard working blue-collar american ?

Enclave didn't control US government, Enclave WAS the US government, or atleast a "in-case-of" form of it. As with real shadow governments, it didn't take part in politics until it was necessary (in this case, nuclear war).

But don't all US presidents get some sort of statues, that are being stored in White House or Capitol?

I think you're reading too much into it. IMO they're nothing more than industrial age sculptures, with maybe a little Art Deco thrown in..
