Tout en haut du Palais 5 du Heysel, quatre grandes figures de bronze dominent Bruxelles depuis lExposition universelle de 1935.
Hautes denviron 4,3 mtres, elles reprsentent quatre grands moyens de transport de lpoque : la Navigation, la Traction hippomobile, la Traction vapeur et lAviation.
Aujourdhui couvertes dune patine vert-de-gris, elles ressemblent presque quatre sentinelles installes sur le toit.

Now on to the Imperial Shipyard. I took some exciting shots here late into the evening.
The figures walking out of the water are sculptures made out of various bits of machine scrap, part of a series called "Rozbitkowie" ("Castaways") by Czesaw Podleny.

In 2015 invented a series of little anthro lion figurines meant to copy the Dwarves.
The artist made one supposed to represent Daniel G. Fahrenheit, and gave him... a Celsius scale thermometer. huh Why It's so stupid :D
The other pic is a replica of one of Fahrenheit's actual designs, with the Celsius scale added.

Your art history post for today: by the gn rnwwn (brass-casting guild) artists, Nigeria, Court of Benin, Horn Player, ca. 15501680, brass & iron, H. 24 3/4 11 1/2 6 3/4 in. (62.9 29.2 17.2 cm), Metropolitan Museum of Art.
From the museum: This figure of a court musician playing a side-blown trumpet attests to the technical virtuosity of the Benin bronze-casters. The figure's elaborately textured garment depicts the hide of a leopard, an animal associated with the power of the Oba. Similarly, the strands of coral around his neck and chest reaffirm this musician's status in the Benin court, since coral, like bronze and ivory, is a royal prerogative in Benin.
And a personal note: as this work was looted by the British army, it should be returned to Nigeria.
Also from the museum: The British invasion of the capital of the Kingdom of Benin in 1897 was part of a campaign waged from 1892 through 1902 to forcibly bring most of the inland territory of modern-day Nigeria under British rule. With the British conquest of Benin City, Oba Ovonramwen was exiled to Calabar and soldiers plundered the palace. The brutality of the removal of its contents has forever decoupled altars dedicated to each individual oba dating from 1300 to Benins conquest with the specific works conceived to commemorate them. Directly following the military action some 200 Benin artifacts were given to the British Museum by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs while others were sold on the international art market. In addition to dealers and private collectors the major clientele at this time were newly established ethnographic museums in the West. Following Ovonramwens death in 1913, his son Eweka II was restored to the office within a British protectorate and prioritized a renewal of artistic patronage in Benin City. Subsequent to the nineteenth century dispersal of Benin works, awareness of their extraordinary aesthetic power, beauty, and complexity profoundly influenced Black public intellectuals. Notable among these in the U.S. were W.E.B. Dubois, Alain Locke and artists from the Harlem Renaissance on. At the same time, their relegation to ethnographic museums during the colonial era continues to reflect the legacy of their forceful removal and segregation from comparable cultural achievements by Western creators.

Salut,
Dans les sympos, beaucoup de gens pensent que j'utilise des moules pour sculpter mes pices mais je n'en utilise pas.
Je commence tjrs par une intention trs prcise de ce que je veux faire. Ensuite je dessine la petite bte la craie sur ma table de travail pour le format. Ensuite je monte la pice dans les air en prenant soin de ne pas trop dpasser mon croquis. Pas de moule, pas de rebut supplmentaire
Qques exemples...
Heureux dimanche !
