The Source


I have always loved this statue, The Source, and have posted it before, but the previous photos were always a front or side view.  I also like to take photos of people from the back view so I tried it with this statue and like it.


Artist Name: Alonzo Hauser
Media: Bronze, opaque black over blue patina.
Date Created: 6/14/1965
Location: Rice Park
History: Hauser created this statue, donated by the Women’s Institute of Saint Paul, to combine the city's historical past with the contemporary spirit of the day.  
Born in Wisconsin in 1909, Hauser established the art department at Macalester College, where he taught until 1949.  He died in 1969.

    The statue is beautiful enough to match it's setting.

    Turn around, girl! :) It's lovely. Looks like a homeless man may be sitting on the bench in the background.

    Interesting. Your last two photos both sort of statues... both commentaries on life.

    Lighthearted and pretty and I love how the water splashes!
    Yes, thanks for the link to the article. I guess it's true, I saw today's queue to enter the palace while on my way to lunch, it was HORRENDOUS!
