Mr. Atlas Musclebound?

Rockefeller Center’s Atlas (1937) by Lee Oskar Lawrie and René Paul Chambellan was one of the things I remembered from my brief first visit to New York, a third of a century ago, so this time around I took several pictures of it.

 

The designer and sculptor should not be blamed for having inspired the book “Atlas Shrugged” by the self-styled “philosopher” who called herself Ayn Rand.
