Για το γλυπτό
George Minne’s Solidarity, conceived in 1898, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Two naked men struggle to balance in a storm-tossed boat, an image of cooperation intended for a memorial to Socialist leader Jean Volders. The Belgian Labor Party rejected the design and canceled its commission. Minne destroyed the nearly ten-foot plaster model, but a smaller study survived for later bronze casting. This marble is the only known carved version completed. The original design replaced a conventional portrait with an allegory of brotherhood. Displayed in gallery 222.
Με τα λόγια του μουσείου
In 1898, the Belgian Labor Party commissioned George Minne to make a memorial for Jean Volders, the Socialist movement leader. Rather than making a traditional portrait, Minne represented the socialist ideal of prioritizing cooperation over competition, creating an allegory of brotherhood with two nude men standing in a boat, anxiously trying to keep their balance in a storm. The Labor Party disliked Minne’s design and withdrew the commission. In anger, Minne destroyed his nearly 10-foot-tall plaster model, but the artist’s friends and contemporary critics recognized the power of the sculpture. A smaller study survived and was later cast in bronze. This marble version is the only carved example of the composition known to have been completed
