„Flaming Freedom” (Statue of Liberty), Manu Verneuil, Hamburg/Germany 2024, 81x116cm (31.2x45.7inch) acrylic, mixedmedia, color scheme red/blue with subject in silver on canvas 🟢
The work, a symbolic execution with a pronounced feel and structure, expressively interprets the Statue of Liberty, La Liberté éclairant le monde, a neoclassical colossal statue created by Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi.
It stands on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, was inaugurated on October 28, 1886 and is a gift from France to the USA.
The statue represents the robed figure of Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom.
The statue is considered a symbol of freedom and perhaps symbolizes “the flame of liberty“ especially in these times.
It is also a great symbol of New York City. In these times, the whole world is looking to America. In this respect,
this work also stands for the good America.
This work was originally created for #KamalaHarris and #TimWalz during the election campaign harriswalz2024🇺🇸 . Now we have a situation in America that needs a symbol of freedom more than ever. This work stands for the good forces in America and for the country that now seems to be fighting for its freedom.
