Morgenroth said Tuesday that the bronze sculptures bring a touch of culture and enrich the park.
Greer resident Allison Saravia offered a starkly different assessment of the exhibit when she spoke at Monday night s Greenville City Council meeting. She questioned whether the nudity depicted in the sculptures is just art. I’m keeping myself pure for marriage, and that 100% includes keeping my eyes pure. I thank God somebody warned me about the statues, because if I had gone downtown unknowingly, that would have robbed me of my innocence, and you would have been responsible, Saravia told council members. You have no idea how profoundly that would crush my spirit. Do you care at all that you’re making hundreds and more people cry bitter tears?
