Description

This is a highly personal interpretation of Frank Jirouch’s 1928 sculpture Night Passing Earth to Day dominating the south end of the lagoon south of the museum. Waltz used infrared film, which turned all the light areas bright white, yielding a composition of extreme contrasts. Both the sculptor and Waltz were Cleveland artists who exhibited in the museum’s May Show, although decades apart.
