Chariot

Mediums: painted bronze on a wooden base.
Location: the Museum of Modern Art, New York (the USA).

Towering above two high wheels and standing on a small open area, the thin woman resembles ancient Egyptian riders. Her precarious balance seems to depend on a movement that cannot stop. As the sculptor explained, the plot was inspired by the real contemplation of a “sparkling pharmacy wagon” when he was briefly in the hospital. During this period of his creative career, the master had a desire to position the figures in space, and he did it. For the same purpose, that is, to better see the character, the author placed the statue on stands, at some distance from the floor.
