[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 909008, member: 4910"][I]Take, for example, the Saint-Gaudens $20 gold piece, Marks said. Meant to depict a young nation that is strong, he used symbolism rather than multiple images of people doing tasks. "Saint-Gaudens gave us an allegorical symbol of Liberty pictured as very strong, walking toward us as if coming into the future with some powerful allegorical symbols in her hands. It was that symbolism that made the design great. What we often see now is the storyboard approach".[/I] Augustus Saint-Gaudens was high on drugs when he designed the $20 gold piece. The current artists, being government employees, are probably drug-tested now. :)[/QUOTE]
