Beschreibung:
Michael Ayrton (1921-1975) was an English artist and writer. His bronze sculptures of Icarus stand outside the Smithsonian Institution Space Museum in Washington, DC, and St Paul s Cathedral in London. He is the author of The Testament of Daedalus, Fabrications, and The Midas Consequence, among other books."
"I address you across more than three thousand years, you who live at the conjunction of the Fish and the Water-carrier," speaks Daedalus, an artisan, inventor, and designer born into an utterly alien family of heroes who value acts of war above all else, a world where his fellow Greeks seem driven only to destroy--an existence he feels compelled to escape.
