EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing fisheye view of the iconic statue of Atlas in front of the Rockefeller Centre on Fifth Avenue, New York. Standing tall and proud, this striking Art Deco sculpture depicts the Greek Mythological Titan, Atlas, holding up the weight of the world on his shoulders. Created by renowned sculptor Lee Lawrie and inaugurated in 1937, this magnificent piece is a true testament to human creativity and craftsmanship. Located just across from St Patrick's Cathedral and adjacent to the Rockefeller Building, this monolithic statue stands as a symbol of power and ambition amidst Manhattan's bustling cityscape. The surrounding skyscrapers create an awe-inspiring backdrop against the clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds. As you gaze at this image, you can't help but feel a sense of grandeur and marvel at its architectural beauty. The complex shopping precinct nearby adds to the vibrant atmosphere with flags fluttering in the wind. The photograph perfectly captures both history and modernity intertwined - a fusion between classical mythology represented by Atlas himself and contemporary capitalism embodied by General Electric (GE) and RCA Plaza nearby. With its concrete structure adorned in bronze finishings, this timeless masterpiece continues to inspire awe among visitors from all over the world. It serves as a reminder that even under immense pressure, humanity has always found ways to shoulder great responsibilities while striving for progress.
