Items related to Marconi in the Sculpture of John McEwen
Synopsis
For thirty years, John McEwen's sculptures have explored the nature of communication between animals, animals and people and the artwork and the viewer. He creates life-size silhouettes of animals, mainly dogs or wolves, most of which are flame cut from sheets of steel. By locating them in different environments, new relationships are produced and new associations are evoked. For McEwen the one constant in the human imagination is the animal and Marconi, a full-size German Shepherd created in 1978, was the first sculpture in a long series. This retrospective publication examines Marconi's original role as a vehicle of the imagination, a primary component of which is that animals are a necessary source of deliverance and hope.
