Crazy Horse Memorial, Black
Hills, Custer County, South Dakota
The Crazy Horse Memorial is
located in the Black Hills near Custer in Custer County, South Dakota.
|
Crazy Horse Monumentet er Lakota
indianernes svar på monumentet på Mount Rushmore. Der var
stor kontrovers, da Gutzon Borglum gik i gang med at hugge i
bjergsiden, for Mount Rushmore ligger på land, der tidligere
var beboet af Lakota indianere.
I 1948 begyndte indianerne deres
egen bjergskulptur, som skal forestille indianerkrigeren Crazy Horse
til hest. |
The Crazy Horse Memorial is the
Lakota Indian answer to Mount Rushmore. There was great controversy,
when Gutzon Borglum started carving out the mountain side, because
Mount Rushmore is located on land formerly inhabited by Lakota indians.
In 1948 the Indians started
making their own mountain sculpture, depicting the Indian warrior
Crazy Horse riding his horse. |

Hvis Crazy Horse Monumentet
nogensinde bliver færdigt, vil det være verdens
største skulptur, betydeligt større end Mount Rushmore
Monumentet. Men værket har været undervejs i tres
år, og der er lang, lang vej igen. Billedhuggeren Korczak
Ziolkowski, som startede værket efter at have været en af
medarbejderne på Mount Rushmore, døde i 1982. Selvom
værket er gået langsomt videre siden da, er det uvist
hvornår og om det bliver gjort færdigt. |
If the Crazy Horse Memorial is
ever finished, it will be the world's largest sculpture, considerably
larger than the Mount Rushmore Memorial. But the work has been
underway for sixty years, and it's still a long way from being
finished. The sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, who started the work after
having been one of the assisting workers at Mount Rushmore, died in
1982. Although the work has progressed slowly since then, it is
uncertain when and whether it will be completed. |
