1912 Photogravure George Frederic Watts Physical Energy Sculpture London XADA9

This is an original 1912 black and white photogravure of George Frederic Watts hard at work on his masterpiece "Physical Energy." "Physical Energy- the fulfilment of his desire to make a "monument of unknown worth." An extraordinary aspiration to make a material equivalent to something as abstract as value. But this is Watts's bravery- aware of arts limitations but also of its aspirations: a constant tension within his life." -Antony Gormley. This colossal sculpture can be found in the Kensington Gardens in London, England.
