They Attached A Bronze Hand To A Tree In 1968
Not being the least bit artistic, the minds of artists have always fascinated me. Where do they come up with such beautiful, unusual, creative masterpieces? Giuseppe Penone is one of those artists. The bronze sculpture he affixed to a tree at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, TX in 1968 is creative genius!
The sculpture entitled, "Continuerà a crescere tranne che in quel punto" (translated, "It will continue to grow except at this point") was crafted from a cast of Giuseppe's own lower arm and hand. He then attached it to a young sapling with the idea that through the years, the tree would grow around the sculpture. It now has the appearance that the hand is squeezing the tree.
