Amazing Taft masterpiece
Monday, January 16, 2006
If you are interested in sculpture or art generally, this is a worthy destination.
Considered to be the Master work of Lorado Taft, this enormous Fountain of Time took 14 years to construct.
In it the figure of Time stands across from a 110 foot wave of humanity; soldiers, lovers, youth, the sculptor himself, and many others.
This piece was designed to be part of a larger vision that was never realized. Time and pollution have not been kind to it either; it is in need of repair, but still worth a visit.
