International monument by Yugoslav sculptor Glid Nandor, 1968

The sculpture shows many skeleton figures and short strands of barbed wire constructed out of dark bronze. The figure’s head dangle sharply while the two concrete fence posts support the sculpture. Nandor uses many basic elements and principles of design in this sculpture. He uses line, texture, shape and form in this piece of artwork. It also gives off a sense of movement and rhythm. Together it brings in a dreary outlook along with the dark bronze shade. The artist creates a chilling effect down your spine when you observe this monument. The skeleton figures show how the Holocaust victims straved behind these fence posts .The barbed wire overwhelmes the viewer with the emotion of the only way to escape is to merely die. Yugslav spent some time in a concentration camp, so this sculpture that he created represents not only his experience but many others.
