Description
View of two sculptures of males sitting on a pedestal facing each other by Hanneke Beaumont at the Meijer Sculpture Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan. "While these life-size sculptures are made from bronze, they are finished to appear more like terra cotta, which Beaumont often prefers along with other clays and iron. Their rough surfaces convey a strong sense of age, deterioration and simplicity, while the silence and stillness of the figures helps to create intimacy between the sculptures and the viewers"--Meijer Sculpture Gardens website.
