For this week's installment of the Sunday Art Review I present Statues of Society, a study in various mediums to present humans in several forms. There are many interpretations of sculpture-it can be literal, or figurative. As always it is through the artist's eye. Artists present, preserve and portray the human form in different ways to represent society for future generations. Whether the artist uses bronze, polycarbonate, stone or poly-chrome, the observer has the opportunity to see the human form as part of society in some way. In this photo, I am sitting between a bronze sculpture of "The Couple", in Palm Springs. I like this sculpture because it seems so fluid and amazingly real.
