dc.descriptionThe fountain was commissioned by President Robert F. Goheen, a classicist, when Prospect House was still home to the University's president. Created by Dimitri Hadzi this pipe-playing centaur reflects the artist's modernist approach, which bridges abstraction and figuration. It also calls upon his lifelong interest in mythology. In myth, the artist noted, centaurs are physical but also intellectual beings.
