While the tragic "Tragos" stands in front of Malmö City Theater in rain or shine, snow, ice or other inclement weather, "Thalia", the muse of comedy, stands nice and dry in the middle of the theater's first floor lobby, between the stairs to the second floor, happily greeting the theater goers about to ascend the stairs to the second floor. The thumb nail shows her holding the mask of her profession, and she has a wry smile on her face. Above, we see her mask of comedy more clearly, and that wistful smile of hers. She is made of gilded bronze by Bror Marklund. She was originally made in plaster in 1944, but due to WWII economic restraints she was not cast in the intended gilded bronze until 1974. Each year a miniature Thalia statue is conferred to an artist who has made an extraordinary contribution to the arts in a special ceremony. The miniature is bronze with no gold and about 12 inches / 30 centimeters high. Enjoy! These are the last photos from my Malmö folder. I hope you've all enjoyed them!
