Description
Column #S-47, Chicano Park. Upper portion depicts (L-R): a boy in front of a three-paneled object, possibly painting, an indigenous ceremony with drums, an eagle, several views of the feathered serpent, a tolteca symbol with a heart, and three monumental sculptures in the Pre-Columbian style. Bottom portion (by Salvador and Gloria Torres, the rest is by the other artists) has a face that is split across two sides of the column. "This is a good example of how monumental imagery contrasts small figures. The lower portion of the column attempts to encompass the corner of the columns in order to make full use of the space available. Salvador Torres has discovered the more time given to the study of the columns and abutments challenging surfaces, the more complete a design can evolve making full use of a surface that can contain monumental imagery creatively, that can be viewed from a greater distance."
