I have been coming to the Nassau County Museum of Art for years now. The museum was established in 1969 and I was there a number of times to do photographs for the paper. I don't remember when I first saw this sculpture. It is titled "Girl on a Bicycle, 1965" and it is by the sculptor Bruno Lucchesi. He is a sculptor who was born in Italy, and moved to New York City in 1958. I am not sure why I find this so powerful and so beautiful, but I stop and look at it and photograph it every time I come to this museum.
The sculptor's name is familiar so I looked him up. I remembered that he did a lot of women in "active" scenes through the years. So this woman on a bicycle is a great example. She looks as if she is trying to get away from something...betsey
