And to get serious in my art analysis for a moment, my biggest problem (outside of the ugliness of the piece) is that it celebrates MLK Jr only as a man rather than as a symbol of something larger and more important. MLK Jr's indiscretions are well-documented, making a sculpture (based on a famous photo) of him hugging his wife simultaneously ironic and trivial. <br /><br />I have no great love for Dr. King the man...but I have huge respect for his message. He pointed in the direction of freedom for <i>all</i> of us. It is that message that should be recognized and memorialized...though preferably for less than $10 million that might be better spent on actually helping those most in need.<br /><br />As others have raised here, I'm always amazed that some monstrosity like this sculpture has to be approved by legions of people to come into being, which begs the question of how they could <i>all</i> be idiots. And it's likely that they <i>weren't</i> all idiots, but there was no safe or politically correct avenue of challenging a Black artist's design of an MLK monument without being accused of racism or Uncle Tom-ism.<br /><br />Dr. King's dream and the taxpayers who funded this fiasco deserved better.</b>Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-4089634564305865192023-01-16T11:01:55.459-06:002023-01-16T11:01:55.459-06:00No commentNo commentPaul Donohuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065908366188140701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-60590029471945384682023-01-16T10:22:08.378-06:002023-01-16T10:22:08.378-06:00That humming sound is MLK Jr. hitting 25,000 RPM.
