This free-standing sculpture was carved directly in black granite by my father Richard Davis (richarddavissculptor,com) in 1941 during the depths of World War II. Some see them as Lot and his wife (Genesis 19:26), but it is he, not she, who is looking back over his shoulder. Their clothes are nondescript and timeless. Perhaps they represent all refugees fleeing from war, persecution, hunger, or poverty. It was shown at the American Sculpture Exhibition at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburg, PA in 1941 and subsequently at MOMA in New York and elsewhere.
