Photogsnazzy: King Lear, by J. Seward Johnson

I don't know much about sculpture, and this artist had many other, different sculptures around the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ, but I was very taken with this 20ft metal depiction of King Lear. Something about it captures the forlorn, weary despair about the classic character yet retains its regal dignity and moral certainty.

I was very much fascinated by the haunting face and eyes.
