Yesterday I featured two bronze sculptures by artist Doug Hyde that are located at the Heard Museum. Those two aren't the only of his sculptures on display. Today I have three more to admire.
This first one is titled "Zuni Girl". It is a beautiful bronze with very smooth lines and a traditional look.
Doug Hyde doesn't only sculpt in bronze, he also uses stone and these two are also his works. The grouping is titled "Flag Song" and it's sculpted from Tennessee pink marble.
This last one is also by Doug Hyde, this one sculpted from limestone. It's called "The Dollmaker". All of these sculptures are located around the grounds of the Heard Museum and can easily be seen by anyone who stops by the museum.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. I'm taking my very first walk around the streets of Rome.

Nice. No one can say Phoenix doesn't invest enough in public art!
Mr. Hyde's sculptures celebrate, I think, the strength of women as they go about their daily lives. These are strong sculptures. I like the first one very much.
I particularly like that 1st one, Sharon!
They are all beautiful Sharon. My favorites are the two in the second shot.
Oh, I like all of those but then I love sculpture.
I have a hard time relating to this kind of work but it may be cultural. It seems stolid and passive to my Western (world and Northeastern (US) eyes. But we had the great privilege of weaseling our way into a day-long kachina ceremony once and I cannot remember anything more moving.
I do like the style of his work.
They are nicely done within their genre, but I am kind of like Bob Crowe. They look a bit like Alan Houser's statues, but with more lifelike detailing.
Definitely my kind of sculpture and art work. Now I have to acquaint myself with Hyde since I am so partial to Hauser.
