my current favorite sculpture.
i like that I have to go see it in person and a photo never captures what draws me to it. this is the Harvard art museum’s version which has free admission so I can pop in for a few minutes and see them any time.
on the sculpture Rainer Maria Rilke wrote: “a mysterious greatness emanates from this group. . . . One doesn’t dare assign a meaning to it. . . . A heaven is near, but is not yet attained; a hell is near, and not yet forgotten.”
