EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Willi Soukop's iconic sculpture, "Donkey DP178234" situated in Pittmans Field, Harlow, Essex. The image was skillfully captured by photographer Steven Baker in 2015, offering a timeless glimpse into this post-war masterpiece. The donkey sculpture stands proudly against the backdrop of a serene landscape, its graceful form evoking a sense of tranquility and resilience. Its weathered surface tells tales of years gone by, symbolizing the enduring spirit of both the artist and the community it represents. Willi Soukop's creation is an emblematic representation of his artistic vision during a time marked by recovery and rebuilding after World War II. This particular print showcases the sculpture from a westerly perspective, emphasizing its harmonious integration with nature. Steven Baker's expert eye has flawlessly captured every intricate detail - from the gentle curve of its neck to the texture etched upon its body - inviting viewers to appreciate this remarkable work through his lens. The monochromatic palette adds depth and contrast to each line and contour while preserving an air of nostalgia that resonates with history enthusiasts. This photograph serves as a testament to both Soukop's artistic prowess and Baker's photographic talent. It immortalizes not only their individual contributions but also pays homage to England's rich cultural heritage embodied within this magnificent sculpture.
