Summary

[edit]
Description

Architectural illustration of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial designed by Maya Lin. View with the Washington Monument in the distance. Digital file from original drawing.

Drawing shows architect Maya Lin and artist Paul Stevenson Oles in the foreground. Oles recalled about his role in the initial phase of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial: "... shortly after we had learned our entry had not been selected as the winner, I received a frantic telephone call ... from the competition's Professional Advisor Paul Spreiregen, informing me that the drawings of the winner's original submission were so vague—beautiful, indeed, but highly ambiguous.... He asked me if I could produce, say, three drawings for the purpose of explaining Maya Lin's design, in a hurry ... In those heady hours, Maya asked, shyly, if "she could be included in the picture." I agreed, conditionally, if she would be willing to appear on the arm of the illustrator (center drawing)." Source: Library of Congress, American Treasures exhibit caption, ca. 2005.
