The Sower By Bourdelle

Here is another mural for the same Food Building as "The Reaper" This one is "The Sower" This is really such a dynamic simple design! The lines in the field that has been sown behind the figure draw you into the piece, the strong figure pulls you down into the feet and to the seeds that are being scattered--and the same pull you back up into the center again. The seeds have an interesting almost animated feel to them.
