Onward Simon Gordon ( )
plaster, circa 1935 - 1940 28 1/2 x 21 x 14 inches Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Cheskin
This large, painted plaster sculpture depicts a poor, perhaps homeless family during the Depression. The gesture of the bodies pushing forward against the wind is a metaphor for their striving against poverty and want.
