This is one of the statues that adorn the roof of the Musée Fabre, in Montpellier. This statue is a sculpture that pays homage to sculpture. I found that funny, sort of redundant.
I was a potter and a sculptor in a former life. I loved it.

j'aime bien l'idee d'un hommage à la sculpture par une sculpture, de plus elle est tres belle.
RépondreSupprimerLe toit du musée est tout émaillé de sculptures de ce style. Ca fait très bizarre. Bonne journée à toi.
RépondreSupprimerI am sure you must have been a sculptor in a previous life Marie - you photograph them so well.
RépondreSupprimerLove the flowers for Abrahm - so beautiful.
This comments page has downloaded very strangely so I hope this isn't vertical down your page????
Nice sculpture.
RépondreSupprimerDear Jules, my blog has become to heavy maybe. I hope it does not mean I am going to get in trouble with it.
RépondreSupprimerThank you, Barb.
I meant "too heavy" :-))
RépondreSupprimerI love sculptures....even redundant (as a title) this is very nice.
RépondreSupprimerThis post reqires serious consideration.
RépondreSupprimerFirstly; a sculpture that pays homage to sculpture must be verity in itself; not an oxymoron, but value in its own truth. Therefore, that may be seen as undisputable. I certainly cannot dispute the truth of this message so I dont't find it redundant at all. I really find the sculpture pleasing and having the air of freedom of expression; of self expression. It has a semblance of ancient Greek sculpture, with a proprietorship over life and love and the meaning of life. I certainly love it and the message it gives me.
And I would love to have beeen a sculptor, as you once were. Perhaps you are still a sculptor, but of words. We love what we do, have done, will do, wish we had done, but what we do now is what we are, now. Things change with time. This statue looks down upon us as we make up our minds.
Wow, I am impressed by your description, M. Benaut. Snif snif I will never be able to do the same.
RépondreSupprimerNow, have you ever seen a painting called "painting" or heard a piece of music called "music" ? :-))
Thank you so much, ge. Thank you Neva for your comment.
Marie, do you still keep your sculptures? Can you photograph some of them for us? I would love to see them.
RépondreSupprimerThis one is lovely but I agree with you about the title, seems a bit lazy to me not to find another name for a very pretty piece.
How about sharing some of your work?
RépondreSupprimerThis is very nice, and funny, like you said! :-D
