Completed in 1940, this 22-foot granite sculpture stands at the entrance of the Hollywood Bowl. Its exquisite Streamline Moderne lines are especially evident in the way its lit at night. I already knew that it was sculpted by George Stanley, who did the Oscar award but it wasn’t until I found this photo that I learned its name. It’s called the “Sculpture of the Muse of Music, Dance and Drama.”
It would be awesome to see map of the freeway overlaid on the french village to give an idea of what was destroyed by the freeway. It’s hard to get a perspective of that.
I’m not 100% certain, but judging from the top photo on that other page I linked to I’d say that the French Village was where the Lasky-DeMille Barn at the Hollywood Heritage Museum is now.
