“Are Years What”
Mark di Suvero, 1967. Painted Steel.
Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D. C.
This sculpture salutes Moore’s poem:
What Are Years?
What is our innocence, what is our guilt? All are naked, none is safe. And whence is courage: the unanswered question, the resolute doubt, - dumbly calling, deafly listening-that in misfortune, even death, encourage others and in it's defeat, stirs the soul to be strong? |
