Is there someone or something you never want to forget?
Gutzon Borglum led a team of skilled carvers to sculpt his design for Mount Rushmore into the Black Hills, the Lakota ancestral land of present-day South Dakota. Printmaker Reginald Marsh depicted a monument he often passed in Union Square Park, drawing it from below so Geroge Washington appears even larger than nearby skyscrapers.
Unlike Washington and Mount Rushmore, artist Saul Steinberg’s monument to an anonymous figure wearing a headdress is imaginary. Like Marsh, Steinberg was interested in political commentary, often drawing imagined politicians, buildings, and monuments with cheeky hidden messages. [120 without any of the question prompts]
