Description
Here is my tribute to the sculpture by the late Albert Szukalski...The following description is from Atlas Obscura.com...”The hillside below Daylight Pass, just beyond the ghost town of Rhyolite, is decorated by a congregation of menacing, hooded figures that strikingly resemble Death himself, huddling together against the desert’s void.
Conceived in 1984 by the late Belgian-Polish sculptor Albert Szukalski, “The Last Supper” beckons visitors to the Goldwell Open Air Museum like a demonic vision born of heat stroke and Satanic enchantment. Inspired by what he found to be a striking resemblance between the Mojave Desert and the Holy Land’s scenic vistas, the sculptor cast these twelve ghosts in an echo of Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of Christ’s Last Supper.
As always with both art and life, the Devil is in the details; Though arranged in a similar fashion, Szukalski’s figures are like an Opposite Day version of the original fresco. Rather than appearing to act out the final, vivacious moments of life, each is nothing more than a stark white cloak draped over nothing. The human figures they should contain are missing entirely. Similarly, the table at over which the figures seem to hover was omitted.”
Cheers Bob
