EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on the 29th of June in 1970, we witness sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski diligently working high up in the Black Hills of Dakota. With unwavering determination and skill, he is crafting a colossal sculpture that will stand an impressive 600 feet tall - a tribute to the renowned Sioux Indian Chief, Crazy Horse. For almost two decades now, Ziolkowski has poured his heart and soul into this monumental project. As we gaze at the image captured by Kent Gavin from Memory Lane Prints, we can just begin to discern the profile head of Crazy Horse taking shape. The large model placed outside Ziolkowski's studios offers us a glimpse into how this awe-inspiring creation will eventually appear. The Black Hills serve as both inspiration and canvas for this extraordinary endeavor. Nestled within Custer County, South Dakota, Thunderhead Mountain witnesses history being carved before its very eyes. This ambitious undertaking not only pays homage to one of America's most revered Native American leaders but also stands as a testament to human perseverance and artistic vision. As we reflect upon this photograph from the 20th century United States, let us marvel at Ziolkowski's dedication and talent while eagerly anticipating the completion of what would become known as the Crazy Horse Memorial - an unfinished masterpiece that forever etches itself into our memories.
