Looking up at this Man of Honour

view map

Salisbury Cathedral
Salisbury, England

Man of Honour (1999) ~ Sean Henry
This inscrutable figure is named after the Sicilian phrase used to describe Cosa Nostra men.
Depicted in workman’s clothes, the artist encourages us to question who the real men of honour are.

CONFLUX ~ A Union of the Sacred and Anonymous (sculpture display by Sean Henry inside and outside the Salisbury Cathedral)

Excellent ! v

Great shot of the sculpture. Looks a typical British Workman hands in pockets, usually found in groups at a roadside staring into a hole watching one man digging the hole! V

Great shot - and a powerful way of posing the question. (Should have been a sculpture of a lady, I think!)

Simon Chandler		18-Jun-2012 16:34
Captured perfectly. v

Walter Otto Koenig		18-Jun-2012 16:05
Certainly a thought provoking title for this intriguing sculpture.

Patrick F		18-Jun-2012 16:00

Colin Dixon CPAGB		18-Jun-2012 14:29
The men in the working clothes :)

Peggy W		18-Jun-2012 13:51
This one really makes you think of who the real men of honour are...great image!! BV

globalgadabout		18-Jun-2012 13:47
thought provoking for sure...working people are the backbone of a society, and not the gangsters of various sorts..

David Hobbs		18-Jun-2012 13:38
Gee, these figures are a great find. You must have systematically documented them all.

Ray :)		18-Jun-2012 13:17
That's is very original, especially in a cathedral. Who are the men of honour? Wealthy businessmen knighted by the Queen who turn out to be bad apples or guys such as depicted here?
