Man Carving His Own Destiny, Albin Polasek (1879-1965), Indiana Limestone, 1961 - Brookgreen Gardens, Murrells Inlet, SC 3-25-11
This sculpture, first created when he was a student at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, so haunted Polasek that he continually revised and refined the concept. The different versions expressed his personal vision of "man chiseling himself, struggling to hack out his own character, carving his future by the effort of his will."
