Plaque text:
This sculpture titled "Bear Mountain Red - A Texas Landscape" after the quarry that it came from in Fredericksburg, Texas, is a merger of the human character with organic abstraction.
The piece was carved by Alice Maynadier Bateman from a 12 1/2 ton block quarried especially for the Diamond Shamrock Building. The sculpture was blocked out in the artists Ft. Worth studio and completed on the site Sept. 18, 1982.
We are creative only when we imagine most vividly, when we hope most profoundly, when we have the courage to live on the edge of our possibilities.
