Catalogue Note
Charles N. Aronson writes: "Harriet asked model, Janette Ransom, 'Suppose a jet of cold water came up from the floor at your feet right now, what pose would you take?' And Janette said, 'I'd do this,' and took the pose you see when you see Joy of the Waters" (Sculpted Hyacinths, New York, 1973, p. 108).
