Description

Color photograph of four cast stone and Portland cement panels each depicting a single Greek dancer figure, mounted in a row on a red brick wall. The photograph shows "The Dance of the Muses," a public sculpture by Carole Hanson created in 1990, consisting of four rectangular, bas-relief panels installed side-by-side on the exterior wall of Wells High School in Wells, Maine. Each panel features a lone figure in a dance posture inspired by classical Greek art, set against a red brick background. The panels are evenly spaced and hang above a strip of grass running parallel to the building. 1993. Unidentified photographer. (See p16918-p16923)(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.
