Material of the Statues

The architectural statues - that is, those directly connected with the

architecture - are of smoked-ivory tone, so that you see them as part of

the architectural scheme.

Those far away from the eye, used as free statues, are, in the main,

golden.

Those nearer the eye simulate bronze, the special color that seems

worked out from the color of the blue eucalyptus.

All the statues of the Exposition palaces and courts are of travertine,

the material of which the buildings are made.
