King memorial

When viewers look at one sculpture or portrait of particular person, actually they are reading how the artist analyzes and describes the person.I agreed that "the idea of who is making the person come back to life is very important." Without the idea, I don't know how artists can make works, whatever it is statuary, portrait or any other forms. To me, the concpet is produced before the action, and the idea leads me to make the work. One may concern that picking the "right" artist to work on the sculpture or portrait of particular person is important. But how to pick a "correct" artist to make a sculpture or portrait of particular person is a complex process. The reason of the final result sometimes is very specific and it is really difficult to make everyone to approve.
