Les montres memento mori du XVIIe sicle, quand lheure rappelait la mort
Good morning from Minneapolis, where we'll compare our lovely and temperate summer for as long as it lasts.
Quite early Tuesday morning it's 62 a few clouds light winds visibility 10 miles at the airport.
- Cooler than average temperatures continue this week, then the pattern flips next week with a potentially prolonged period of hot and humid conditions into July.
Among the many valuable achievements of the Women's Auxiliary one deserves special mention. Mrs. H. F. Brown, one of the delegates at large, suggested a statue for the Woman's Building, to be the production of Minnesota's artistic conception and execution. The architect of the state building had disallowed this feature, and there was no public fund to meet the expense, which would be considerable. The ladies, however, decided to procure the statue, and rely on private subscription to defray the cost. Mrs. L. P. Hunt thought that sufficient funds might be raised from the school children of the state, through a penny subscription. Enough was raised, however, to secure a plaster cast of great beauty, representing Hiawatha carrying Minnehaha across a stream in his arms, illustrating the lines in Longfellow's poem:
"Over wide and rushing rivers
In his arms he bore the maiden."
This statue adorned the porch of the Minnesota building during the fair. It was designed and made by a very talented young Norwegian sculptor, then residing in Minneapolisthe late Jakob Fjelde. It is proposed to cast the statue in bronze and place it in Minnehaha park, Minneapolis, at some future day.

The photographer has used a powerful juxtaposition hereframing an unyielding, intimate embrace of love in the crisp foreground while the fragile brick and mortar of the city literally crumbles to pieces right behind it. Remarkably, despite the proximity of the blast that leveled a chunk of the building, the bronze monument itself managed to survive the shockwave.

The razor wire in the foreground highlights how an installation built in a town named for friendship, designed to celebrate peaceful love, has been physically cordoned off and trapped within a landscape of active warfare.
Here's a closer look at the sculpture:

Despite my best efforts, I could not find out who the figures flanking the cartouche depict, referred to only as "seminude goddesses" by several sources. Well, yeah.
It was designed by Frank Vittor. Vittor was born in Mozzate, Como, a suburb of Milan, Italy. He studied art in Milan at the Academy of Beres and studied under Auguste Rodin in Paris, coming to America in 1906.

Some viewers were scandalized by this figures nudity. Others wrote odes to her beauty.
Made by Hiram Powers in the 1840s, The Greek Slave was an international sensation. And as the sculptures fame grew, its symbolism evolved.

The Ferrymans End, Victors Way, ressemble une apparition qui aurait rat sa sortie dramatique de leau ou russi beaucoup trop bien.
Le corps dcharn, la main tendue, leau verte autour : tout semble conu pour rappeler que certaines sculptures ne sont pas l pour faire joli, mais pour rester dans un coin de votre tte aprs la visite.

In the late 1990s I was an inexperienced 3D creator who had just shifted from pixel art creation. Here's a Dutch computer magazine cover illustration I made at the time, using 3D Studio MAX, as it was still called back then.

Saw this at my local art gallery. Even though it's from 1981, it feels more relevant than ever.

Today is International Yoga Day. Apropos, a picture of 800+ years old idol of "yoga narasimha" of Kaniyooru Matha, Udupi the gold cladding is recent. The idol on its right is also yoga narasimha but a few decades newer. On the left is Krishna age unknown but old.
I love the detail of the crowns and other ornaments, as well as that of the silver arch behind the idols. And of course the elegance of the simple decoration.

Taxi! is another of John Seward Johnson Jr.'s sculptures. Commissioned by The Chemical Bank Corp and cast in 1983, it was originally located in New York and moved to London in 2014, sited outside the JP Morgan Offices close to Blackfriars... in a pedestrian and cycle thoroughfare!
Like the Bromley statue, Taxi! was once painted in bright colours, now weathered so only traces remain.
