War Memorial - Warsaw




The Monument to the Warsaw Rising remembers the Polish revolt against German rule in 1944. The bronzed figures represents a cross section of society, from priests to soldiers. The over-sized figures are lunging forwards, all with an expression of weariness and determination. In the background are vertical columns, giving strength and sustenance to the figures and the symbolising of this event as a progression from their past.
