Algiers, Algeria - Landowskis Monument to the Dead of WW1
Algiers, Algeria - Architects Maurice Gras and Edouard Monestes - Sculptors Paul Landowskis (with bas-reliefs on the base carved by Bigonet) - Monument of the Dead (of WW1). In the late 1970s, the mayor of Algiers appointed Mhamed Issiakhem, one of the founders of Algerias modern art movement, to hide this remnant of colonialism. Not wanting to remove or destroy the statue, the artist decided to enclose it in a sort of concrete sarcophagus. Date: circa 1930
