Other Works in this Series: Pacifica Vignette sketch Size: 20" x 16"Medium: graphite on wood Date: 2015 Sold "Pacifica", is inspired by the face of the statue of Pacifica, taken from the illustration that beautifully graces the cover of the original brochure of the Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939. Si Vanderlaan did the cover for this brochure and is a beauty! Pacifica was an 80 footer originally built of plaster by Ralph Stackpole, that stood at Treasure Island and was demolished after the fair ended. Pacifica was the theme statue for the exposition, representing world peace, neighborliness, and the power of a unified Pacific coast. She was monumental; a spectacular statue, almost life-like, as if welcoming guests at the fair! She was and continues to be an iconic figure and it is hoped one day to have her re-built and back at the Island. [ Write a Review for this Work ] [ Return to Gallery ] |
