"No one really knows why he picked that subject..." Whether the sculptor intended it or not, anyone familiar with Scripture would immediately see parallels with the imagery in Gen 3:14-15 and Rev. 5:5: The Lion of the tribe of Judah (Jesus Christ) bruising the Serpent's head.
I actually danced with Jack Kelly. He played the role of George Washington crossing the Delaware. Afterwards the Daughters of the Revolution had a dance. I was 6 years old only kid at the dance. Everyone dressed in old colonial dresses and uniforms. My Aunt was part of the Daughters. I was asked to go and ask George for a dance. So I went across the dance floor and ask George/Jack for a dance. He smiled and said yes. Then I tripped all over his feet. He stop looked down and says hop up. I looked up and said oh no. I'm much to heavy. He smiled and did a belly laugh. I hop up on his shoes. His uniform sword was bigger than me and we danced the night away. After the dance I thank him and at the end of night I ask for an autograph. He signed it to me and my Grandmother. To this day I keep his autograph in my wallet. It is so special he sign it on his Olympic Committee business card. I will never forget that night and I will never forget our dance. He was a great athlete, great Irish man, great business man and very hard worker. But I will remember him as a great gentleman. God bless Jack Kelly.
So nice to see such an interesting documentary that keeps us in touch with this extraordinary Kelly family and Philadelphia's past. More of this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mr Kelly!
Leave his statue alone, he's a founding father..... I'm a nobody, - I planned the Bin Laden Raid in the belief we all should have equal freedoms.....I wonder the heritage of the Princeton students who signed the removal. Because if their fore father's owned slaves then they should not receive degrees!
My distant Uncle Thomas Fitzsimons who is one of signers on US Constitution relates to my great great grandmother, Marge Bains Donnelly’s mother who has last name Fitzsimons which is my Great Great Great Grandmother (Fitzsimons) Bains
When you said "total thinking machine" I thought, what's really being talked about here is consciousness. It's beyond the brain, the mind. And when you said "What is more opposite to thinking than a stone?" I thought...wait, there is no more 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 thinking machine. This would be why the sword is stuck in stone: until one with total consciousness comes along, the sword is stuck because the person sees himself as separate from the rock. When someone who has become one with the rock comes along, he pulls it out with ease because he has mastered his reality.
2 more historians pushing the debunked lie that McClellan was not a good general. Civil war historians have been proven to be pathological liars. Instead of searching for the truth they only cite facts that support their beliefs that Lee was the best general and Lincoln was the best president. Lee was not a good general, nor was he an honorable man. A good general would not have listened to Ewell and Hill over Longstreet. An honorable man doesn't commit treason. Lincoln was a tyrant. He invaded the confederacy without congressional approval. He made zero attempts at diplomacy. He suspended freedom of speech. He shut down any newspaper that criticized him. He imprisoned civilians in concentration camps. He authorized soldiers to kill civilians and destroy private property. He put out an arrest warrant for the chief justice of the supreme court for calling his actions illegal. John Wilkes Booth held the gun but God pulled the trigger.
Very insightful discussion! I would disagree with Dr. Hartog's enjoyable discussion on one point: I would be surprised if Marcks thought that Arno Breker was a "bad sculptor." It is an unfortunate word choice. Both Breker and Marcks shared more similarities that differences. I suspect that Marcks, if hypothetically asked, would have stated that Breker was overrated by the German government at that time. As pointed out, Marcks style was not particularly outside of Third Reich propriety, and Breker was not particularly secure in his position as a Third Reich insider. Dr. Hartog's observation that hands and arms serve as "storytellers" in sculpture is an "aha" moment for me. Breker definitely used hand and arm placement to create movement, feeling, and to allow the viewer to bear witness to a story, the specifics of which the viewer would have to fill in. Marcks does this in "Maja" and other sculptures. (In France, Maillol did the same.) This is where 20th classic style seems to come into its own. The artists are not merely reproducing nudes. They are inviting the viewer to imagine a storyline that must be played out in the viewers head.
I have a small version of this in my great room. But the fist is clenching under the chin. Mine is around at least 40 years old. My parents bought it when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I remember trying to sit like that but it was difficult to hold that position. Did not learn about Dante's Inferno until the mid 90's.
Going to set a mean cross face or the Twister maybe. Wrestlers value skill, technique, temperance and timing. Strength is always just a necessary evil.
