Iron Throat, 1959
"It breaks out again in a violent cry in the tremendously dynamic "Iron Throat" of the American Roszak, a great eroded skull in steel plate and tubing, its mouth open in an enormous shout-an image, one cannot help but think, of the power of communications: all voice, but dead within."
- W.Norris Clark on "New Images of Man" exhibition at MOMA NY in 1959. (America National Catholic Weekly Review vol. CII No.8)
