Amidst the hustle and bustle of the crowds at Tramway Plaza (59th St and 2nd Ave) reclines a "generous figure of great placidity and great tranquility"...Gaston Lachaise 1934.
Plenty of artistic symbolism here as the monument to earth and femininity looks to the east in the direction of sunrise and perhaps a bagel shop or two. Anyway, the setting is beautiful and caught my eye. The statue sits among park benches in the shade of a large and stately locust tree which does add to the tranquility of the setting.
