Okazaki created this piece at his workshop in the Dingmans Ferry ,Pennsylvania, by standing up slab of clay and shooting it with a shotgun, rifle,and handgun. Okazaki's intention is to borrow the myth of Prometheus , who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans, to communicate the perils of human civilization, which,startingwith life, has developed tools,machines,and other devices.
Rockefeller Center represents a turning point in the history of architectural sculpture: it is among the last major building projects in the United States to incorporate a program of integrated public art.
Paul Manship's highly recognizable bronze gilded statue of the Greek legend of the Titan Prometheus recumbent, bringing fire to mankind, features prominently in the sunken plaza at the front of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The model for Prometheus was Leonardo Nole, and the inscription from Aeschylus, on the granite wall behind, reads: "Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends."

Paul Manship's highly recognizable bronze gilded statue of the Greek legend of the Titan Prometheus recumbent, bringing fire to mankind, features prominently in the sunken plaza at the front of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The model for Prometheus was Leonardo (Leon) Nole, and the inscription, a paraphrase from Aeschylus, on the granite wall behind, reads: "Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends."
Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans just as Mark is installing new light bulbs into my ceiling lamp. What a nice guy!
Prometheus is about to hurl his gift of fire upon unsuspecting diners. In the winter, this is the skating rink at Rockefeller Plaza.

Larger than life, as befits a Greek God, Prometheus carries life-giving fire in his upraised hand, while fountains of water jet below.

Detail of Portland stone relief sculpture (1954-9) in Coventry City Centre by Walter Ritchie, representing 'Man's Struggle to control the World inside himself'
The subjects include the struggle for enlightenment and the conflict between good and evil, using images from mythological and religious sources (including a graphic representation of evolution, with the primitive humans ascending to the point of becoming angel-like beings!)
These panels (there is a companion relief) were originally featured dramatically as a central focus in Coventry's precinct in the late 1950s, situated at either end of a of a long fountain basin with a walkway above them (that left them for the most part in shadow).
This was how I first encountered them as a child in the 1970s, and the dramatic images combined with the roar of rushing water from the fountain captured my imagination and left a lasting impression on me.
In the early 1990s the precinct was modified and the fountain basin and reliefs were swept away (the fountains had been dry for some years before) and the two panels were repositioned adjacent to each other on the end wall of the Herbert Art gallery & Museum a few blocks away where they remain today. They look very striking there with much more daylight falling on them than before, but somehow they look rather tacked on here. I miss their old location, and I can still hear the rushing water of those fountains when I look at them
The god who stole fire from Zeus and brought it to man, according to Greek legend. This, the famous centrepiece at Rockefeller Centre in New York.

Would be more effective if the flash had caught the blue flames that were, in reality, lapping out of the sterno.
Sculpture in the plaza at Rockefeller Center, probably familiar to most people as the thing people skate in front of in romantic comedies.
