About The Artwork
The Vietnam War inspired this sculpture grouping and was based on Michelangelo's Pieta but with the woman medic looking up asking "why" the man is dying, as opposed to in the Pieta where the woman is looking down at the dying Jesus.. The two marching soldiers originated with the song "Johnny comes marching home again" and they do march but without the zeal and swagger of aggressors. The subject is pain and death. The 1970 commission to do this work was instigated by a prominent anti Vietnam war Senator Vance Hartke (D-Indiana) of the Veterans Affairs Committee. The bronzed four figure war memorial grouping was to have been placed in a United States Senate office building.. .

United States
I attended the University of Arkansas, American Airlines Stewardess School, and the National Academy and Art Students League in NYC. My sculpture work in the 70's included a Vietnam War Memorial made up of four figures for Senator Hartke's (D-Indiana) Veterans Affairs Committee, and I created a thoroughbred horse which was to have been the centerpiece of the Virginia Thoroughbred Associations's Equine Hall of Fame. For the past 30 years I have worked as a graphic artist in the oldest (since Civil War) and largest (300+) artists community in the United States on Jackson Square in the French Quarter of New Orleans. I wrote a book called "French Quarter Artists" which is available at https://www.amazon.com/dp/1977779530.
