This has to be one of the most beautiful modern art statues around. I understand Eos is the Goddess of Dawn. The sculpture is somewhat reddish like the slow sun rise can be. She looks towards the sky or sun, slightly spread arms stretched back... Like we would do to totally expose our front to the sun...
The bottom of the statue is often covered in vegetation, giving the illusion of a long flowing gown as the long sleeves also suggest. Clearly she is enjoying herself, basking in the sun.
I don't know much about art and others have already mentioned all the stats about this piece of art, but to me, this statue evokes joy... Simple joy of enjoying a good dawn. read more
