| dc.description | Overall view; This version of John Wilson's Eternal Presence is a study for the full size, seven-foot tall sculpture which stands outside of the National Center for Afro-American Artists in Boston. Designed as a tribute to the history of black people in Massachusetts, this idealized head has what Wilson describes as "a symbolic black presence infused with a sense of universal humanity." In Eternal Presence, Wilson combines influences such as the bold, sculptural forms of the Mexican Muralists, the scale and presence of Pre-Columbian Olmec heads, and the serene energy of the Buddha statues in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
