Blacksmith with Mask

The bronze sculpture Blacksmith with Mask by Jack Mays is of a man cut in half, holding a mask. The front half has one foot on the ground and one foot on an anvil that is also cut in half. The back half is sort of merging with the front half but has a separate head and one foot.
The sculpture looks real from the front but then looks like unreal from the side. The main focus is on the mask because it is covering most of the other faces and because the other man/men are leaning towards it. It is not symmetrical but it is almost like seeing the same man multiple times. The shapes are soft and rounded except for the first real man's face which has sharper aspect to it. If the sculpture was bigger, there would probably be more detail.
The color is mainly gray-brown but there are spots of blue on it. The colors make the mood kind of sullen. The mask is expressionless and looks like it has something like a worm going through its head. That might signify the "mask" that people try to put on themselves of no emotion but we're really different inside. The first face looks like a man with a full head of hair in his younger years. He looks determined and a little bit mad. The last face looks like and old, bald, sad, butt-chinned man. he is also holding on to the mask. He might signify the man inside us who is never revealed and is completely different. The artist might have felt frustrated that he couldn't understand humans and so he tried to create it in a piece of art . I feel for him, man.
