Description
Aglow after dark, the handsome man runs tirelessly at the fairgrounds in Dallas, Texas. His name is Tenor, and he is accompanied by the lovely Contralto. At the State Fair of Texas, this grand statue towers once again over the waters of the esplanade - what a grand view! Tenor was created for the Centennial Exposition by Lawrence Tenney Stevens in 1936 . The nude was made of aluminum and probably melted down during World War II to help with war efforts.
David Newton recently re-created the statues as part of bringing back some of the missing history of Fair Park. Their installation was complete in late 2009.

Wonderful composition and I love the contrasts between the shining hard surface of the statue with the soft puffy clouds in the dark sky...fav/v35

A bronze sky forces our ice silver protagonist practically into our faces. The composition is no-less than a master class, the sweeping arms cleaving the photo in twain!

Thank You John... There's an entire Gallery for Tenor and Contralto photographs. Many angles to take advantage of clouds and sun.. Take Care, Charlie
