George Segal
(1986-7)
The moment when Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden pathos and emotion of Renaissance interpretations. The dominant element of the tableau is the painted backdrop and the nude man and woman, holding leaves in front of their private parts.
Segal, George
(1924-2000), American sculptor, known for his life-size white plaster casts of human figures. Segal was born in New York City. His plaster figures, left rough and unfinished with vague, indistinct features, are placed in mundane or lonely sculptural settings, such as elevators and diners. He was the winner of a competition for the design of a Holocaust memorial. Full-size sculptures by Segal sell for $125,000 and up.
