EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two little girls stand in awe before the modernist sculpture "Trigon," located in the bustling shopping mall of Harlow New Town in Essex, England. The year is likely the 1960s or 1970s, as indicated by the girls' outfits and hairstyles, and the context of the town's development during that period. Harlow New Town, established in the 1940s as a solution to post-war housing shortages, was a pioneering example of modern urban planning and social housing. The shopping mall, with its innovative design and cutting-edge architecture, would have been a marvel to the young girls, who gaze up at the abstract sculpture with wide, curious eyes. Trigon, created by the renowned British sculptor Henry Moore in 1968, is a striking example of the town's commitment to modern art and culture. The statue, with its geometric shapes and bold lines, stands in stark contrast to the traditional, historical buildings and landscapes that the girls may have been accustomed to. As they stand there, taking in the sights and sounds of this new, modern world, the girls represent the excitement and wonder felt by the residents of Harlow New Town during its early years. The photograph captures a moment of discovery and exploration, as well as the sense of optimism and progress that characterized the town's development during this time. This image offers a unique glimpse into the history of Harlow New Town, a place where the past and the future collided, and where the modern and the traditional coexisted in a way that was both innovative and inspiring. The girls' reaction to Trigon serves as a reminder of the power of art to captivate and inspire, and of the enduring allure of the new and unknown.
