Manuel Izquierdo (1925-2009)Izquierdo, Manuel (1925-2009)2022-07-202022-07-202011.035.002; Sculpturehttps://hdl.handle.net/10177/19787While a student at the Museum Art School, Manuel Izquierdo began a series of animal bearers or shepherds-forward facing male figures with an animal slung over the shoulders. Izquierdo explored this subject for some thirty years, creating the last monumental version as a cast bronze installed outside the library at Pacific University in 1979. For Izquierdo, the theme of the shepherd held personal meaning: he titled one of these works Passage 1939, in reference to his shepherding of his younger brother and sister through war-torn Europe before they emigrated to the United States in 1942.Image14.25"" x 4.75""Painted terra cottaFor use information see: http://www.willamette.edu/arts/hfma/collections/copyright.html
