2024 post: Throughout 2024, we're looking back at the 100 year history of art at the Mulvane. This 2008 sculpture is by Linda Stein, an American artist whose work often addresses issues related to gender and sexuality. “Black Guard 633” is part of her “Knights” series of protective guardian figures. Stein has said that these sculptures “respond to war and our contemporary culture’s testosterone overload by scrambling expectations of power/vulnerability, masculinity/femininity, warrior/peacemaker.”
