Obesity on a Pedestal New York Statue Draws Mockery and Concern
Tom Cunningham and Drew Berquist discuss a controversial new statue in Times Square, criticizing its depiction of a large black woman, suggesting it celebrates obesity and incorporates stereotypes. They compare it unfavorably to a marble statue in Florence, highlighting the latter's muscular physique and artistic quality. Drew argues that no one would be proud of the Times Square statue, while Tom implies it might have been created by someone with negative intentions. An article by Disco describes a 12-foot bronze sculpture by Thomas J. Price, noting its detailed craftsmanship and intent to engage viewers, contrasting it with the negative reception of the other statue.
