MONUMENT A SONG TO WORK
Location:
800, Paseo Colón – San Telmo
Made
by Argentinian Roberto Yrurtia (1879-1950) one of the most excelling
bronzes in Argentine art. It was unveiled in 1907 at Plazoleta “Coronel Manuel
de Olazábal” upon a low rectangular base. Fourteen bronze figures,
together appear to be dragging a gigantic rock.
The
allegory is that of the liberating significance and effort involved in
work and, also the dignifying role of women in the life of men as
support energy and hope in the struggle of life.
