Brotherhood of Mankind

Mario Armengol

These greatly elongated statues impress by their huge size, their extreme gauntness and their nudity.

About this work

Devoid of all social markers of individuality, race or class, the male and female figures embody all humanity as they interact. In two groups, outstretched arms and linked hands create physical and metaphoric bridges. Other figures face them, including a mother with a child. Disturbing to many in 1967, the statues are now a popular landmark, known as The Family of Man.
