Leaping Hare on Crescent and Bell
1983
A playful bronze hare leaps dynamically atop a crescent form alongside a bell, capturing the whimsical and energetic spirit characteristic of Barry Flanagan's celebrated animal sculptures. The work exemplifies Flanagan's ability to imbue cast bronze with a sense of lightness and movement, transforming a traditionally weighty material into something full of vitality and charm. The hare, a recurring motif throughout his career, serves as a vehicle for exploring themes of freedom, imagination, and the poetic possibilities of form.
