From the Paper:

"Charles Moore is a very metaphorical artwork, brilliantly hewn by Mockbee. The overall arrangement of the forms on the picture is centered in the middle. There is no hint of symmetry. The overall patterning shows that the entire surface does not include design elements. The major design element is enlarged and takes a considerable amount of the design surface. The focal point of the picture is leading towards the right as most objects are facing to the right. The hierarchical scale indicates that the rooster/chicken and the figure of the man are most distinguished in the picture, i.e. they are the main source of appeal."
