Works of Art I know - sculptures


Queenie II, Duane Hanson

This is a sculpture of an average woman who works as a janitor or a maid. It could be any person, and I think that was the message that the artist was sending, that it was just an average person, not a celebrity or a posed model, just any person you might see on the street. Hanson made the person look extremely realistic, in order to highlight the point that she is just an average person who has a life story that you might not be able to recognize just by looking at her.
