Right: detail of "Jürgen Goertz bronze sculpture of Albert Einstein, Ulm’s internationally most famous son, in 1984. It is located on the grounds of historic Zeughaus. (Zeughaus is Ulm’s historic arsenal; today it is home to parts of Ulm’s municipal court.)

It consists of three elements:

The rocket symbolizes technology, the conquest of the universe and the atomic threat.

On this base you see a big snail shell which symbolises the opposite, namely nature, wisdom and scepticism about mankind’s dominance of technology."

"It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity."

Albert Einstein

"I'm not duplicating life. I'm making a statement about human values."
Duane Hanson

Duane Hanson did a diverse work under the label hyper-realism. Although his groups of people evokes the social the individuality of each person is preserved in such a way that sometimes it reminds a Edward Hopper scene where a certain psychological moment is captured.
I have already start approaching his work at this post and I plan doing others because there is nothing simple about these people.
