‘My images don’t get near what you see in real life. The world is so remarkable and astonishing and surprising that you don’t need to exaggerate. What exists out-there is just mind-boggling.’ (D. Hanson, quoted in Duane Hanson, Sculptures of the American Dream, exh. cat., ARKEN Museum for Moderne Kunst, Copenhagen, 2007, p. 77).
