Monday, August 17, 2009 – Campus Life

At the UCLA Sculpture Garden, a headless man perpetually walking across campus – actually, one more authorized casting of Rodin's "Walking Man" –

Campus life isn't suppose to be like this –

Tower of Masks. 1961 - Anna Mahler - UCLA Sculpture Garden

Tower of Masks. 1961
Anna Mahler
Austrian, 1904-1988

Yes, that would be the daughter of the composer Gustav Mahler and his wife Alma Schindler, who lived out here for a time. And she also worked in bronze – you know, bronze heads of the musical giants of the 20th century – Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg, Artur Schnabel, Otto Klemperer, Bruno Walter, Rudolf Serkin and so on. Schoenberg ended up teaching at UCLA, and one of his private students was Oscar Levant. Small world… even claustrophobic, when you think about it.

Technical Note:

These photographs were taken with a Nikon D200 – the lenses used were AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or AF Nikkor 70-300 mm telephoto.  The high-resolution photography here was modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 software.
