| Description |
English: The Struggle of Elemental Man, Malvina Hoffman, 1936, located in the Falk College Courtyard at Syracuse University.
Elemental Man is a bronze sculpture created by American artist Malvina Hoffman. Elemental Man is located on the Falk College Patio, between White and MacNaughton Halls. The sculpture rests on a square concrete base and stands 6 feet 4 inches tall. Elemental Man depicts a nude male figure kneeling and attempting to free himself from a rock in which his feet are still embedded. The sculpture portrays humanity’s strength to conquer our surroundings. In 1930, philanthropist Stanley Field commissioned Malvina Hoffman to sculpt and cast bronze figures depicting the peoples of the world for Chicago’s Field Museum. This bronze, similar in its depiction of strength and power to that which characterized her Field Museum series, was shown at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. The University purchased the sculpture for the permanent collection in 1965. |
