The piece of art I chose to analyze on the Florida State University Campus is the Unconquered Statue, which sits right outside the football stadium. The statue depicts Chief Osceola throwing a spear into the ground while riding his horse Renegade on top of a round stone block that has the word Unconquered carved into it. There is also a small inscription in the base that says, “This statue does not depict a particular person or even. Rather, it symbolically portrays the unconquered spirit of the Seminole people of the 19th century and the timeless legacy of that sprit that continues to burn bright into the future”. The statue was constructed by Fritz White, who specializes in life size sculptures and monuments, the unconquered statue being his biggest project, which is double life size. It is made of bronze and has a stone base and all together stands a whopping thirty-one feet tall. It was unveiled October 10th 2003 but it wasn't until September 2nd when the word Unconquered was carved into the stone. The statue sits in front of Doak Campbell Stadium the home field of the Seminoles. The intended viewpoint of the statue is to be standing in front of it with the football stadium in the background. There is a tradition to light the end of the spear on fire the night before home football games as Florida State fans show their support. Fritz White uses the natural form of the house and the human and very little of the statue is stylized. Fritz used realism to create a lifelike statue which means the textures of the piece are pretty much constant of what their real life counterparts would be, although there is some difference between the horse and the chief. The lines on the horse are very smooth and rounded while the lines on the chief and his spear seem more sharp, not organic, and in your face. The statue has a very dominating presence when you see it in person and Is somewhat intimidating. This could be due to the sharp lines of the chief, dark copper color of the piece or the fact that it is twice life sized. Another reason for the intimidating nature of the statue, is the point of view at which people view it, the piece stands on a large stone block causing the statue to be much higher than eye level which appears to be at a dominating angle causing it to look much larger. The rock under the statue is rounded with a flat top but the rock seems to be larger at the bottom and gradually gets slightly smaller at the top causing your eyes to move up towards the chief and his horse, which is main focus of the piece. The font of the word unconquered is bold yet clean, and the letters are in all capitals and the word was neatly carved into the stone. The colors of the piece are also a very interesting aspect of the piece. The stone base is light brown while the statue is dark copper. These two colors are complemented with the red brick of the stadium and also the lush green bushes that sit under the statue. This could have been one of the reasons why the statue was put right outside of the stadium. Another reason is the intimidating nature of the statue and how that could be used as a advantage to the home football team when visitors come play at Doak Campbell Stadium. The overall impression I get from the statue is that it will strike fear into the hearts of opponents and also at the time it shows the unconquered spirit of the Seminole tribe by using realism, a giant scale and the dark colors.
