Antoine-Louis Barye
French, b. Paris, 1795 - 1875
Tiger Devouring An Antelope, (CA. 1830-1831)
Bronze.Sphere No. 6, (1963-1965)
Bronz Arnaldo Pomodoro
Italian, b. Morciano, 1926

Out of all the collections of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC,I would save these two works of art.For the Sphere No. 6, was created using bronze as a medium, although it is not clear what Pomodoro used to create this work of art. I would save this sphere because to me it represents the world and (the destructive nature that we have been treating it) how it should really look. It seems it fragmented, uneven and has craters as though it is showing the wounds we have inflicted upon it. I would save this to remind future generations that we need to do more to rebuild and care for the only world we have.
The Tiger Devouring An Antelope by Bayre using bronze as the medium, I would save mainly out of selfishness I loveeeeeeee tigers. I love the contour lines that the artist used to show the tigers powerfulness over the antelope, and to make it seem as though the lion is more relaxed while the antelope (of course) is writhing in pain/agony. I'm not sure if the green hue on the sculpture was put there on purpose but to me it brings the picture to life and reminds me of the old adage that "only the strong survive". It reminds me that everyone is in the rat race for themselves and they will "devour" you if you get in there way.
