Central Park in New York, around 1978.

"he walked past rows of sad bronze businessmen"

Statues, real-life businessmen, or perhaps street performers, drug dealers?

hard to say without context. Central park has 29 statues, some are bronze. Also there was

"William McElcheran, an internationally renowned Canadian artist who left an artistic legacy of whimsical bronze businessmen. In their look-alike suits and hats, toting briefcases, McElcheran's sculpted businessmen have found their way into public and private collections in North America, Europe and Japan."

literary, since you ask a number of these questions, and we seem to have the same problem each time, i.e. that we just can't tell wtihout some context, from here on out could you just give us a whole paragraph, or at least a couple of sentences to work with--not just the bit of a sentence that poses the problem. Context is everything (or at least a large portion of it).

I'm with username. Please provide us with CONTEXT.

In this case, I think (but I'm not sure) that the bronze refers to suntans.

I'm guessing with Roberta on sun-tanned businessmen, but without context....

Title and author is part of context also.
