Artists have always been very interested in studying the human body, inside and out, and they still are. By really getting to know the body, it helps them recreate people in their Art. Often their pictures or statues can remind us that we only have one life and one body and we should make the most of them. Damien Hirst wanted this statue to be very grand. It is 20 feet tall and weighs 10 tons. It is made of a metal called bronze which has been painted. It is designed to stand outside so that the rain and wind will peel off the paint over time. In this way the bronze man underneath will have a life span like we do.
