Description

Newspaper article regarding a carving by the sculptor Thomas Muller. The carving is said to bear a resemblance to the economist Colin Clark. By carving the gargoyle-like creature in the image of a public figure, the journalist argues that Muller has revived the 'medieval practice' of caricaturing public figures in gargoyles on buildings.
