This is a fun work in which two hares appear to be playing around by boxing or dancing on top of a cross. Hares appear in various forms in mythology, literature, and art. The two hares in Barry Flanagan's work have supple limbs full of vitality and, with ears pricked, are standing powerfully on their hind legs like humans. What moral or allegory did Flanagan have in mind for this sculptur of wild hares? He produced conceptual works in the late 1960s through tote 1970s but turned to figurative depictions of animals from the early 1980s.
