...massive bronze A Couple of Differences Between Thinking and Feeling II--a gorilla contemplating its severed arm on the floor--captured "the moment when self-consciousness dawns," Angus Fairhurst once explained. One of the so-called Young British Artists who debuted in the 1990s, Fairhurst worked in media ranging from photography to painting and collaborated with his more confrontational art-school classmates Damien Hirst and Sarah Lucas--most notably in the landmark 2004 Tate Britain show "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida."

After the mating was finished (roughly 2 mins., about par for the course for your average silverback), Breuer even observed George holding Leah...
...would be nice to believe, on a Valentine's Day, that when George and Leah lock eyes, they know a little bit of what we might feel when we look upon our loved one. And perhaps they do. But they don't need to. The life of a wild gorilla, caught only in glimpses from a distance, has richness and mystery that is wholly sufficient to itself, and which we'll never fully know...
