    Same here. If you are in Phoenix area?  I can give you half my bedroom and you can stay.  It would be great.

    This is from the sculpture park in Oslo, Norway. It's an amazing place. All the sculptures are by a single artist and all are naked.

    And all are made of this STONE?  That had to take a lifetime.

    The artist designed them, I believe he had some help in executing them. There are over 200 of them and they are larger than life-size.

    WOW.  Did you see those statues made of terra cotta that I found?  That is the most amazing thing I have seen sculpture-wise.  It rivals your sculptures what those artists did way back when.

    I would love to see this Oslo display and I would love to see more of the terra cottas too.

    That's what I THOUGHT but I saw a caption that mentioned GREECE and I was like "What the heck, did they move them to safer grounds or what".  


    I cannot see how they can transfer that to anywhere else (DUH) but they did move the London bridge brick by brick to Lake Havasu over here.

    I LOVE LOVE 'WINGED VICTORY" but don't know how to post photos here.

    saw a photo of it when I was in grade school....waaay back in the 1950's and its beauty almost overwhelmed me.

    I looked and looked at it.........wow what a masterpiece!!!

    so if you don't know, DO look it up online; it's sometimes called "Samothroce's Winged Victory'.........or however it's spelled!!

    great stuff!!!

    I don't know how to post stuff, but my very very favorite is WINGED VICTORY, sometimes know as "Samothreces Winged Victory".....

    OMG  saw it in a schoolbook when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade and IT FUCKING TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.

    I've since tried to get a copy of one, but they are so damn expensive, due to all the sculptural detail.....so now I"m looking for a HUGE poster of it.........hard to find!!!!

    you can get posters of just about any dumbass stupid stuff, but a classic work of sculpture???????? think again.........

    but I"m gonna keep lookin', damn it!

    LOL


    :-D

    I don't know how to post photos..........!!!!!!

    but my MOST FAVORITE SCULPTURE IS


    WINGED VICTORY.....

    just look it up online....



    first saw it in a textbook when I was in the 4th or 5th grade,,,,,,,,,,,IT TOOK MY  BREATH AWAY &  STILL DOES!!!!!!!

    HAVE SEEN reproductions of it, but somehow they never manage to get all the folds in the cloth right; did find one that did, but it was horribly expensive.

    have been looking for even a POSTER of it, and so far no luck........but I"ll keep looking!!!!!!!!
