Habakuk

Acrylic painting on cotton, 16"X20".
Get ready for Habakuk, a surrealist sculpture that's equal parts bird, prophet, and mind-bending work of art. Created by the legendary Max Ernst (1891-1976), this 15-foot-tall bronze masterpiece is one of a mere four casts. The sculpture takes its name from a prophet in the Hebrew Bible known for questioning God's wisdom, because who doesn't love a good existential crisis? With its daring blend of tradition and innovation, Habakuk makes a striking statement against the neo-Gothic buildings surrounding it, which date back to the 1930s.
