Surrounding The Mennello Museum of American Art, are park like gardens, showcasing unique and interesting sculptures at every turn. Many of the small welded silhouette-style sculpture, are by Paul Marco. 'American TripTych' is a small but expressive sculpture standing approx 4 feet tall, featuring three figures each painted a different colour, Black, Red, and White, all standing on a concrete plinth.
The Plaque on the plinth names the sculpture 'American TripTych' but the museum web site does not mention this sculpture.
"Czechoslovakian artist Paul Marco’s sculptures exhibit a variety of influences. The unique, rustic forms of his works recall the primitive setting of his home in Maine, while the animals forms and mask-like faces of his figures reflect the artist’s interest in and study of African sculpture and masks. Marco claimed that his art was “rich with association,” as he believed discarded pieces of early American farm equipment he used to create his works were fraught with latent meaning of the contemporary viewer. His works seem to emanate a type of exuberance and joy that comes from a respect for the past cooperating with an eye for creation.
Paul Marco (1911-1997)"
