Crucifixion

Sculpture by Samuel P. Dinsmoor in the Garden of Eden, Lucas, Kansas (click to enlarge):


Samuel P. Dinsmoor, quoted in Jennie A. Chin, "The 'Second Adam' and His Garden," in Daniel Franklin Ward, ed., Personal Places: Perspectives on Informal Art Environments (Bowling Green: Bowling Green State Uiversity Popular Press, 1984), pp. 83-97 (at p. 91, with note on p. 97):
I believe Labor has been crucified between a thousand grafters ever since Labor begun, but I could not put them all up, so I have put up the leaders—Lawyer, Doctor, Preacher and Banker. I do not say they are all grafters, but I do say they are the leaders of all who eat cake by the sweat of the other fellow's face.27
