| dbo:abstract | The Quest, sometimes referred to as Saturday Night at the Y or Three Groins in a Fountain, is an outdoor marble sculpture and fountain designed by Count , located in Portland, Oregon in the United States. The sculpture, carved in Italy from a single 200-ton block of white Pentelic marble quarried in Greece, was commissioned by Georgia-Pacific in 1967 and installed in front of the Standard Insurance Center in 1970. It depicts five nude figures, including three females, one male and one child. According to the artist, the subjects represent man's eternal search for brotherhood and enlightenment. As of 1990, The Quest was considered Portland's largest single piece of white sculptured marble. The abstract, figurative sculpture was surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1994 and underwent minor repairs. It has received mixed reviews. One critic appreciated how its flowing lines contrasted with the "stark" pillars of the adjacent building, and called the marble "impressive". Another writer for The Oregonian wrote of her and others' dislike for the sculpture, saying it serves as a "free sex-education lesson" for schoolchildren. (en) The Quest, também referida como: Saturday Night at the Y ou Three Groins in a Fountain, é uma escultura e fonte em exibição pública de mármore projetada por Alexander von Svoboda, e situa-se em Portland, Estados Unidos. A escultura foi encomendada pela em 1967, e esculpida na Itália a partir de um único bloco de 200 toneladas de mármore branco extraído do Monte Pentélico, na Grécia. The Quest foi instalada na frente do edifício em 1970, e retrata cinco indivíduos nus, incluindo três mulheres, um homem e uma criança. Segundo o próprio artista, eles representam a busca eterna do homem pela fraternidade e iluminação. A partir de 1990, The Quest foi considerada o maior pedaço de mármore branco esculpido em Portland. A escultura abstrata e figurativa foi pesquisada pelo programa "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" do Instituto Smithsoniano em 1984 e submetida a pequenas reparações. The Quest recebeu críticas mistas, um contribuidor do Building Stone News apreciou como suas linhas fluem e contrastava com os pilares "rígidos" do prédio adjacente, além de chamar o mármore de "impressionante". Em contraste, outro escritor do The Oregonian escreveu sobre a escultura e a aversão dos outros por ela, servindo como uma "lição livre de educação sexual" para crianças em idade escolar. (pt) |
