Title A name given to the resource Centaur Fountain in Wade Park Lagoon [removed] Description An account of the resource By the end of the 19th c., Wade Park, owned then by the wealthy Jeptha Wade, was a hub of culture and community. The vast gardens and zoo exhibits that dotted the park brought visitors far and wide. Picnic areas, walking trails, a restaurant, the zoo, and a boathouse on the lovely lagoon kept the park abuzz at all times of the year. Visitors would canoe on the lagoon in the summer and skate in the winter; a shockingly peaceful contrast in activity to the violent fountain at the center of the lagoon. The marble fountain, which cost $1500 to install onto it's $500 base inscribed with the name W. Morse, who oversaw the installation, depicts a bold and brave centaur who has been fatefully lured to a siren's rock by her sweet song. Unfortunately for him, as soon as he climbed atop the rock he was entwined by a wretched serpent. With one hand, he grasps the serpent's neck and squeezes, forcing a jet of mist 50 feet into the air from the it's mouth. From the water on the centaur's proper right, a merman sounds a conch shell in order to draw aid for the centaur, and who should respond but a saurian: a dolphin creature with the ability to kill a sea serpent in one bite! The frantic drama preserved in the sculpture was a definite juxtaposition to the peaceable boating and picnicking that went on around it. The sculpture is reportedly a duplicate of one that Jeptha Wade saw over the course of his travels in Austria. By 1926, the statue had fallen into disrepair and disuse. The growing costs of upkeep and the costs associated with the new art museum precluded any attempts at restoration, and the statue was taken down.

Title A name given to the resource Bacchanale Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Malvina Hoffman Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived plaque Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1917 Description An account of the resource On the peaceful marble promenade that lines the grand Southern entrance of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cupid makes his work known. Two nude figures, a male and a female, revel together in a sensual work from Malvina Hoffman. The woman wears a simple diadem around her temples and nothing else. She is running, with her left foot just leaving the ground and her right foot in the air. Her left hand reaches across the man's body and grasps his left thigh, while her right hand holds one end of a sheet that flatters behind the two lovers like a parachute. The man is in identical running pose. His left hand holds the other end of the sheet and his right hand is wrapped behind the woman's body, around her waist. Both figures wear broad, lively smiles. The man fixes his bright eyes on his partner's, while she looks up at his hand. Much of the sexual imagery in the piece is stated: her hand on his thigh, his hand on her waist. But there are much subtler, more covert images as well: the congruent posing of the figures draws them closer together for the viewer. Her hand being where it is while her eyes are fixed on his hand may inform the viewer of her desires. The title also is a reference to sex and orgy. The Bacchanalia was the Roman feast in honor of the god Bacchus, god of wine and revelry. His festival reportedly consisted of rampant sexual frenzy, drunkenness, and general chaos; a night to forget more than a night to remember. This piece may be an image of two lovers engaged in the pleasantries at a Bacchanal festival. Malvina Hoffman was an American sculptor famous for her life-size bronze, marble, and plaster statues of dancers. The graceful elegance of the figures outside the CMA wonderfully reflect her ability to capture the beauty of movement and the human form.

Title A name given to the resource Boy and Panther Cub Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Malvina Hoffman Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived plaque Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1915 Description An account of the resource Poised in a dainty, balletic position, a young boy feeds a panther grapes off the vine. He is slender, but strong. He is nude, save for a fur draping that sprawls across his torso. His arm arches up and over his head, holding the grapes that he feeds to the young panther cub in his other arm. Hidden in the boy's tousled hair are what looks to be two premature horns and his face is held in a pointed grimace, rather than a soft and caring smile. It is very likely that this is a sculpture of the Roman wine god Dionysus in his youth. Dionysus is often pictured with bull's horns, which would have been much smaller when he was a boy, the grapes are an obvious connection to the wine that he is lord of, and it is not uncommon to have him represented riding a panther. Hoffman was known for sculpting dancers in the late nineteenth, early twentieth century, and her talents are certainly on display here. Despite the pose not indicating any great amount of movement, the tension in the boy's body and his balletic form are clearly results of Hoffman's love for the natural beauty of the body in use. animals Cleveland Museum of Art panthers sculptures by women University Circle Inc. https://www.sculpturecenter.org/oosi/files/original/fd28e621e07fa56a53c27bf6879619d5.jpg 2f310f392f2dd3d8eb05a2e16cd1ab25 https://www.sculpturecenter.org/oosi/files/original/38bec5446714a4b02c48f23b11d0aad2.jpg 54ec355353f7bf0ebff0915c67164a0b https://www.sculpturecenter.org/oosi/files/original/582be0f238e9ddd7a2dfc0f21d045e8d.jpg 40de6d1815caecc8ea1623c50505b974 https://www.sculpturecenter.org/oosi/files/original/5c63deabed106722162de60858fb25e6.jpg b86592bdfbafbf4b9ae7dbc975c8c093 https://www.sculpturecenter.org/oosi/files/original/09fd55d7f36d12338c166163f37934e4.jpg 61439a68d193a7dc4c1eb25aee924bc9 https://www.sculpturecenter.org/oosi/files/original/65412275b0ec5b57d1607a425ca31bbf.jpg 201af6a70ce1fc8263867df1ae9cefc7 https://www.sculpturecenter.org/oosi/files/original/c45954556b62278be0685c9c49dc0a96.jpg ed1a1d8dc52c8ad7eedacfdf1717e732 https://www.sculpturecenter.org/oosi/files/original/d347164e017b8ef6033d3c5824c644f7.jpg 6b52ae035047e5f02efeb93a59beff1c Sculpture Sculptural objects in the Ohio Outdoor Sculpture Inventory.
