TRANSCRIPT
Calder’s sculpture right here, halfway between his father and grandfather, was just brilliant placement.”
– Donald Lipski, artist
What is it? It’s a little like music — you feel it, you don’t describe it.”
– Lowell McKegney (left), construction manager and longtime friend of artist Mark di Suvero (right)
Any time you don’t go along with a stereotype, people think you’ve made an error.”
– Martha Mayer Erlebacher (1937-2013), artist and wife of sculptor Walter Erlebacher (1933-1991)
They carry a sense of nobility. Their heads high, proud, and honorable… It took more than 60 years to get the Memorial placed here on the Parkway.”
– Michael Roepel, President of the Committee to Restore and Relocate the All Wars Memorial to Colored Soldiers and Sailors
