Description:
|
Cow and Calf, Ostermiller's largest bronze sculpture, is located in the newly landscaped Hindery Family Park, on the south side of the Hamilton Building along 12th Avenue. Ostermiller carries forward into our time the noble tradition of animalier art from the 19th century and before, yet does it on a grand scale. This monolithic bronze celebrates his talent as a sculptor and the cattle culture of Colorado, on which Denver's economy and society were partly based for many generations.
