Harry Jackson polychromed some of his bronzes because that is what the ancients did. He sculpted others as if they were on the high wire because a good sculptor should have a thorough understanding of form, weight, and balance. That is where Jackson did his best work- on the high wire where action, emotion, and imagination collide. The Flag Bearer- Study is, in some ways, even more of an action piece than the Flag Bearer proper. This is how you would see the rider go by: in a blur, without much detail, all motion, breeze, sound.
