Chandra’s Picks

The Freedman

John Quincy Adams Ward

The Freedman

1863

This artist chose a classic Greek pose to depict the physical and symbolic strength of a man newly freed from slavery. This resonates with me because it shows strength instead of the stereotypical weakness or lack of intelligence of men who were enslaved.

Zephyr Dancing with Flora

Giovanni Maria Benzoni

Zephyr Dancing with Flora

1870

This is gorgeous! The artist sculpted the marble so skillfully that you can practically feel the breeze on your face as you see her dress flutter in the wind.

Detroit Industry, North Wall

Diego M. Rivera

Detroit Industry, North Wall

1932-1933

I like the feeling of awe when you walk from the Great Hall into Rivera Court. It really makes me pause and say (in a whispering, take your breath away voice) “wow”.
