Description

Black and white photograph of a bronze sculpture with multiple upward-reaching forms positioned beside a building. The work is entitled, "Human Landscapes," by artist Melita Brecher of Bar Harbor, Maine. The photograph depicts a sculpture consisting of several tall, rough-textured, tree-like forms that rise vertically and splay out at the top. These elements are joined at the base and are clustered together on a square pedestal next to the exterior wall of a building with horizontal siding. The surfaces of the sculpture have a rugged appearance and each form tapers as it stretches upward, resembling limbs or branches. No people are present, and the background features some foliage and the side of the building. 1994. Jill Linzee, photograph. (See also p16192, p16193.) (See NA4800.)

Save Outdoor Sculpture! (SOS!) (1990-1995) was a nationwide survey that ran from 1990-1995 documenting America’s outdoor sculpture. Established in 1990, SOS! helped educate local communities about America’s endangered sculptural heritage. The Maine Arts Commission was one of 106 organizations to participate in this survey.
