Statue Of Harry Jerome
''Harry Jerome'' is an outdoor 1986 bronze sculpture by Jack Harman of Canadian track and field runner Harry Jerome, installed at Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia. Description The statue commemorates Jerome's running career and depicts the sprinter with his "chest thrust forward into the finish tape". History The sculpture was unveiled in 1988. Someone placed an Iron Man helmet on the statue without permission in 2015; reports attributed the helmet to mischief or a guerrilla marketing campaign for the pending premiere of '' Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron''. The statue's plaque was stolen in 2016. Toronto artist Moya Garrison-Msingwana's 2019 Google Doodle commemorating Jerome's birthday was "loosely inspired" by the statue.

Sculptures Of Men In British Columbia
Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. Sculpture is the three-dimensional art work which is physically presented in the dimensions of height, width and depth. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or moulded or cast. Sculpture in stone survives far better than works of art in perishable materials, and often represents the majority of the surviving works (other than pottery) from ancient cultures, though conversely traditions of sculpture in wood may have vanished almost entirely. However, most ancient sculpture was brightly painted, and this has been lost. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
