Description
Side view of sculpture of one large and one small bear sitting back-to-back, at the Lena Meijer Children's Garden in Grand Rapids, Michigan, by Marshall Fredericks. "One of Fredericks’s most endearing sculptures, Two Bears, is a testament to the artist’s desire to make art that warms the heart and invites the participation of its viewers. Fredericks once said of Two Bears, “I love animals of all kinds and I did the group, basically, for children. A child’s reaction to a sculpture is such an honest reaction; they see through anything that’s superficial"--Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum website.
