Overview

This art catalog showcases terra cotta clay work of contemporary sculptor Alan LeQuire, best known today for his monumental sculptures in Middle Tennessee. His colossal works Athena Parthenos and Musica were modeled first in clay before molding and casting. Alan believes that in a meaningful world, the human figure serves as the primary carrier of significance, and that the human figure is the single subject to which all viewers inevitably respond. The Athena Parthenos statue for the full-scale replica of the Parthenon in Nashville TN was unveiled in 1990 - at forty-two feet tall, it is the largest indoor statue in the United States. LeQuire's Musica, forty feet high, presents nine bronze figures exploding into a circular dance at the foot of Nashville's Music Row. Dream Forest is a multimedia installation, centered on a group of twelve-foot tall forms which combine features of tree trunks and the human body, incised with texts of dreams.
