This work was inaugurated in 1992 after 12-year battle of controversy and opposition. It consists in four figures, 2 standing men and 2 seated women, positioned in natural, easy poses. The result is specific, evocative and understated, showing the public comfort and freedom to which the gay liberation movement aspire.
