A commemorative monument is the translation of a historical event into a work of art. Such is the Shaw Memorial on the Boston Common, a high-relief by Augustus Saint-Gaudens which celebrates the valor of the first African-American regiment in the Civil War. This monument later became the inspiration of a musical piece by Charles Ives, and a poem by Robert Lowell. Our aim is to analyse the latter as translations of the original into different artistic media. These tributes to the work of a former master are also attempts at renewing the expression of civic memory, and to judge the present in the light of a heroic past. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
