"By incorporating a taste for the archaic into his personal idiom, Paul Manship established a style of sculpture in this country which brought him many important commissions, of which the two best known are the statue of Prometheus at the Rockefeller Center and the Paul J. Rainey Memorial Gateway at the Bronx Zoo, in New York."
"The Bronx Zoo
is the largest zoo in the United States. It is a leader in the care, feeding
and exhibition of animals, birds and other living creatures. It was designed
originally by Heins and La Farge in 1899.
Built in 1934, the Paul Rainey Memorial Gate is considered by many the most
beautiful in the city. Depicting the jungle and wild animals, it gives people
a feeling of being in the wilderness."
