Standing Figures


The lawns of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art has many, many sculptures.  I believe these bronze Standing Figures by Magdalena Abakanowicz remind me of a military formation.  What do you see in them?

Regina, it is a modern day version of those terra cotta Chinese soldiers.

I was going to say the same thing that Jack said. Interesting grouping.

My first thought was a bunch of heartless Wall Street, banker types who have now had their just rewards--their heads have been removed! I'll bet it is eerie to walk among them.

Please stop by on Thursday, after midnight on Wednesday even, at Portland Oregon Daily Photo to see my first ever embedded video. It shows my younger son Leland bouldering at The Circuit in Portland, Oregon, as filmed by his older brother Lamont, who also boulders.

I agree with Jack too! Very interesting. It looks like a good place to take some picutres of real people mixed with those statues.
