Our State has earned a reputation for its historic landmarks and scenic beauty. It is equally recognized for the cultural resources that flourish within its boundaries. Events and associations that celebrate the enriching effects of the arts on our lives demonstrate Connecticut's commitment to creative expression and artistic awareness. Sculpture, in particular, reflects the profound ways in which we interpret reality. It evokes such a wide range of emotional responses that it transcends all artistic barriers and cultural boundaries.
Sculpture proves that art is very much an experience of unity.
The colorful photograph carries a special impact and commentary upon our contemporary society. Not only does it illustrate the genuine concern one school has regarding the importance real art has in the lives of our children, but there is an even more subtle significance. Here we witness the very old teaching the very young. The young here are unconsciously learning to respect the wisdom of the old by observing a mathematical concept, which they may not understand for a decade into their future. And it is being presented by a 93 year-old sculptor, who in many ways, has the same open mind they still possess.
