Tony Rosenthal

While Duologue is a smaller work compared to Tony Rosenthal’s oeuvre of outdoor sculpture, his artistic goal remains the same: to initiate a dialogue between the art and the viewer. The title of Duologue reinforces this goal.  Duo refers to the type of saw used to cut the material and dialogue suggests a both harmonizing and contradicting interaction of material, art, and viewer. In Duologue, welded sheets of bronze appear to seamlessly fit together while also being on the verge of repelling apart.
