All the cranes of the world share a similar shape with long
graceful necks and a bustle of tail feathers. It is color that
distinguishes one species from another. With this bronze crane,
that difference is eliminated and a universal design created.
The simplicity and grace of Asian art has influenced Allen's
work, and that influence is most clearly seen in this Standing
Crane. The Standing Crane is in the collections of the President
of Singapore, the Prime Minister of Korea, and Emperor Akihito
of Japan who has the original wood piece.
Size: 15" tall. |
