Yesterday's comment of the day comes from Dave L. in response to our story about the Never Never Land figurines going on sale at Broadway's Best in downtown Tacoma. The figures are sculpted from fiberglass and molds by Hungarian sculptor Elek Imredy.
Dave L. writes,
Elek Imredy is no small name in the world of public art, and his bronze works are in places such as Stanley Park. Though he passed away in the 90's, I'm quite sure he still has family in Vancouver BC. These pieces represent even more than our beloved Never Never Land.
May I add that in correspondence I had a few years ago with a wonderful and helpful librarian at the Vancouver Art Gallery (BC), she quoted text from an interview with Elek Imredy, in which he referred to the “two different commissions to make a series of nursery thyme characters…” He went on to say, ”These figures were primarily for young children and they can be the most discerning of all critics! (a smile) But when I do a job, I try to do my best and that is what I did here also. I am a professional sculptor.” If you have seen “Girl in a Wetsuit” in Vancouver’s Stanley Park, that’s Imredy’s, also.
