People Watching
I have spent much of my life people watching, wondering what they were thinking, what they were planning to do, where they were headed, why on earth they dressed like that? People watching, because as someone who loves stories I get intrigued by the people who ARE the stories. I make up stories about them, or they perform actions that tell me a story. The photo below is blurred because I may have been a little self-conscious taking it as I walked by.

Ha.. you had me for a second. Cool artwork. I had to look it up and read about it a bit.
ReplyDeleteArtwork? How clever! Yep, you fooled me.
ReplyDeleteMy initial thought was that she looked like a woman of a previous decade... late 1950s, early 1960s?
ReplyDeleteI'll admit that I didn't get it until the second photo.
Fun post!
I enjoyed reading your wise thoughts on my latest post. You can probably tell that I'm a people watcher, too. :)
Fun artwork. Very realistic.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin sent me a photo of an art work that must be by the same person, of a seated couple. It's at the art museum in Palm Springs.
ReplyDeleteI just loved that piece. She has different things on her table this day, and it makes her even more interesting.
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing with your wheelbarrow loads. I'm once again doing box loads of books. Many out...you would be sooo proud of me. Pooped I am tho.
Wow! This reminds me of the Liza Lou bead display I saw in Akron years ago.
ReplyDeleteQuite scary.
I encountered a similar piece standing outside of a museum shop. The woman looked remarkable like me so I had friends take a picture of the two of us, surreal.
ReplyDeleteGreat one. So lifelike.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were very brave at first to snap a stranger so up close. After studying it I got a hint from the first photo and the second one confirmed it. It just seemed so odd as a real person.
ReplyDeleteWow, I really had to look at this to see it was a piece of art. You fooled me!!
ReplyDeleteIt reminded me of Archie Bunker's chair in a museum.
ReplyDeleteWonderful art!
You fooled all of us! Cool art!
ReplyDeleteLove the Horse sculpture in the Background!
ReplyDeleteI thought she might be a woman who just received news she was dying soon, so better get all the good stuff! Or homeless with those beaten shoes, bad wig. An Exhibit? Wow!
This sculture remember be the art by Duane Hanson. I did a post about many sculptors, and one was Hanson.
ReplyDeleteDuane Hanson (January 17, 1925 - January 6, 1996) was an American post-modern sculptor known for his life-sized photorealistic works of humans, cast in various materials, including polyester resin, fiberglass, even Bondo.
