In Her Defense
“IN HER DEFENSE”
One of the vignettes on the memorial, close to Athena, portrays townsmen gathering whatever weapon was handy and marching off to war. With the backdrop of “Lady South” one cannot help but understand that the sculptor was saying, “these soldiers are defending all they hold dear, their mothers, their wives, their daughters, southern womanhood.” Ezekiel renders the men’s muscles, clothing, and armaments with accuracy giving the viewer a sense of being present with the army.
ABOUT THE COLLECTION
Dr. Ann McLean, artist, historian and educator, has generously created five watercolors of Moses Ezekiel’s masterpiece to help continue funding for the litigation to restore the Memorial.
Her watercolor renderings are based on photographs she took of the memorial in situ, before the removal process began between Hanukkah and Christmas 2023, and after the “Wreaths Across America” wreath had been placed at the memorial’s base, as was done did other grave-markers throughout Arlington Cemetery.
Dr. McLean esteems Ezekiel’s skill in rendering the human form in high relief, as well as the entire conception (silhouette) of the memorial, a testimony to Ezekiel’s rigorous training In Beaux-Arts classicism while in Europe. She was moved by the rhythmic interplay of the figures and the tender stories Ezekiel tells about all families affected by outbreak of war. She has chosen five special scenes.
We hope you will enjoy owning them as much as we have enjoyed working on the project with Dr. McLean and that you will enjoy placing one of these works in your home or office, or giving them as gifts.
