George Segal
Listen
Daniel visits with world reknown sculptor George Segal at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. A restrospective exhibition of the artist is currently on display at the museum. Segal is known for his life-size white plaster human figures portraying every facet of ordinary life. Some of Segal's best known work include figures of a woman at a butcher shop, a man sitting at a bar, a young woman sitting on a New York subway. The majority of the figures have a solemn and pensive look on their faces. Daniel asks Segal about the lonely nature of his art. After Washington, George Segal's retrospective exhibition will move to New York City and Miami.
