woww...what artistry! Do you have any info as to the meaning? You see something like this...the creativity, the talent, the imagination of man, and you can't help but wonder how that very same species can be so STUPID!
Here is the information about the sculpture for you Linda. 4 ‘Progress’ by Lyndon Dadswell Representing the spirit of progress, this neo-cubist welded copper wall sculpture was created in 1959 and installed on the front of the then newly constructed David Jones department store in 1963. The artist, Dadswell, studied firstly with Julian Ashton in Sydney and then at the Royal Academy, London. His other public works include the relief panels for Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance and the King George Memorial in Sydney which generated much public controversy in 1945.
Wonderful sculpture! I don't often see them on the side of a building like that. I love the shapes you created with your framing of the tree and the awning.
Thank You Amy For The Great Theme

What interesting architecture. The sculpture, which is in stark contrast, really sets it off. Where is that?
