  20. The End of Hope by Amos Supuni (1970-2008) He was a Zimbabwe artist who carved in silverstone, a very hard serpentine with a high iron content.  The figure looks sad, but the caption is sadder:  “My money buys only a fraction of what it use to.  My sons and daughters cannot find employment. Everywhere there is corruption and crime.  My life is falling  apart.” Amos Supuni was born in 1970 and was killed in 2008.

  28. It was this sculpture, “Moulding Our Future,” that transformed Denny Haskew’s career as a successful artist. Denny Haskew and his sculpture made national news in the late 1980s after it was placed in Thompson Park in downtown Loveland, CO.  Moulding Our Future Denny Haskew Thompson Park

  29. The controversy erupted due to the sculpture depicting both mother and child nude and the appropriateness of the sculpture being placed in a public park. After working as a ski instructor, a carpenter, and a raft guide on the Grand Canyon at age 38 he began his career as an artist.  He moved to Loveland, where his mother, Lu Haskew introduced him to Fritz White and quickly became his apprentice.  Denny quickly established his own name among the top ranks of representational sculptors.
