From series “The Most Unusual Statues and Monuments”
In Washington, next to the memorial Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the Great Depression Monument. Five bronze figures of men, who are frozen in the patient poses symbolize a series around bread. During the Great Depression the ranks around the free foods were much longer. The author of the sculpture composition is George Segal, the well-known American sculptor and painter.
After the original photoshooting you can walk through the memorial park. One of the main features of the park is the variety of the miraculous waterfalls that are equally symbolic - symbolizing the difficult economic problems the US had to experience in Roosevelt's government. The Roosevelt Monument, which is located in the center of the park, is one of the most controversial and controversial monuments in the United States.
