	Art:21 . Maya Lin's "Vietnam Veterans Memorial" \| PBS
		Lin is perhaps most well known for her first public commission, the "Vietnam Veterans Memorial." Conceived of when she was still an undergraduate at Yale University, the memorial is remarkable in that it proposes neither winners nor losers, but only the names of the dead inscribed in a polished, fl granite.
		Attentive to the individual life of every man and woman who died in the war, the memorial is also responsive to the individual experience of the visitor.
		It would be stating the obvious to say that each memorial is made from stone - the traditional stuff of monuments - and yet unlike familiar structures such as Mount Rushmore, the Lincoln Memorial or the Washington Monument, Lin's use of stone is supple, understated, and earthy.
