The Park gardens surrounding The Mennello Museum of American Art, showcases unique and interesting sculptures at every turn. Many of the small welded silhouette-style sculptures, are by Paul Marco.
The Jam Session is a small but, expressive sculpture, I think the most interesting Marco sculpture in the park. A group of four figures, approx 3 feet high, playing musical instruments, located under a tree, each figure painted a different colour, mounted on a yellow painted concrete plinth. The plaque names the sculpture, 'Jam Session' by Paul Marco.
The museum web site does not mention or show a photo of 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)" With Thanks:- (
