Hirshhorn Museum, Wash DC (Velvia MF slide)

[Roger]

From 1999:

The statue is in the sculpture garden which is part of the Hirshhorn Museum in DC.

I can't help but think that it looks like the statue has a red spike emerging from its head.

That.. and that I regret never going into the Hirshorn in the two times I was in DC somewhat recently. I'm not really an artsy kind of person (aside from photography), but still I should have gone in to see what they have on display.

Here's one of the sculptures in the garden.

Strange...I'm not really sure what I like about it, but I'm strangely drawn to it. Do you know the story behind it?

Fortunately it's by one of their major sculptors for the garden, so I was able to find it via their collection search.

Here's the info page:

Wow...I always liked Rodin, but I did not recognize this as one of his. Thanks for sharing.
