Looking southwest at the side of the statue "Aspiration and Literature", one of two statues that make up the work "The Arts of Peace". "The Arts of Peace" are statues which adorn either side of the southern entrance of the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway in Washington, D.C., in the United States. They were designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser, and erected in 1951. The centerpiece of each statue is the mythological winged horse Pegasus, the source of inspiration and poetry. On Pegasus' left side is a naked youth with a toga draped over his shoulders. The youth has fired an arrow, symbolic of aspiration.
