| Concept | 横浜・山下公園の「赤い靴の少女」で知られるこの作家は、可憐な少女像をつくると実に豊かな内面をひっ張りだしてくる。これは両手をひざのところに組んで石座に腰をかけているブロンズ像で、像全体がさらに赤い御影石の台座の上に据えられている。宇部市立図書館の前庭にあって、ややうつ向き加減に小さな胸を痛めている姿は環境の前でぴったり。かたわらに植えられている樹が成長すると題名どおりになる。 Known for the “Girl in Red Shoes” in Yamashita Park, Yokohama, the sculptor is particularly skilled in bringing out internal aspects in flowing abundance when depicting guileless little girls. In this work, the girl sits on a stone seat with her hands clasped on her knees, while the seat is placed on a red granite pedestal. In the front yard of the Ube City Library, the figure of a girl, slightly hanging her head with her little heart filled with sorrows, perfectly matches the background. When the tree planted next to the statue grows tall, the scene depicted in the title completes. |
