The Burghers of Snowville
Bozeman, Montana
2014
Recently someone emailed me about my crow image
The Burghers of Bozeman in my
Opus Corvus exhibition currently at the Holter Museum of Art, which lead to a discussion of the famous Rodin sculpture
The Burghers of Calais that inspired the name (see below). So it wasn’t surprising that when walking later that same day, I saw a distinct similarity in the arrangement of these snowmen. The story of the burghers of Calais that led to the Rodin sculpture is quit interesting and heroic. Read about it
here.
