Les Arbres de la Liberté (Schoelcher, Martinique)

Description

Abstract:
Facing the Caribbean Sea, the work consists of eight abstracted forms, some of which are rectilinear, and geometrize and others more curvilinear, with rounded organic forms. The bronze figures are embellished with symbols, which according to the sculptor, represent "the spirit of the liberated man."
