ALBIN POLASEK MUSEUM AND SCULPTURE GARDENS

My trip to the Albin Polasek museum was amazing, surrounded by such works of arts was an incredible feeling. The Albin Polasek Museum & Sculp­ture Gar­dens holds an art col­lec­tion focus­ing pri­mar­ily on Amer­i­can rep­re­sen­ta­tional sculp­ture, with over 200 works by Czech-born Amer­i­can sculp­tor Albin Polasek. He ded­i­cated his life to encour­ag­ing the study, appre­ci­a­tion and fur­ther­ance of rep­re­sen­ta­tional art. Here I unveil my shots of the magnificent sculptures spread through out the Gardens.

 UNFETTERED - 1924 BRONZE

One of my favorites in the collection is the Unfettered Piece. Cre­ated as the female

 com­pan­ion to Man Carv­ing His Own Des­tiny, Polasek saw woman, at last break­ing through the clouds of igno­rance and super­sti­tion into the full light of free­dom.

 SOWER- 1911 BRONZE

As soon as you enter the gates of the museum, you will a huge sculpture of the Sower. Using as his inspi­ra­tion the para­ble of Jesus about the sower – “a sower went forth to sow” – Polasek’s inter­pre­ta­tion shows a man scat­ter­ing the seed of good through­out the world (Ref: polasek.org)
