#a363 :: Bronze and stone sculpture
February 13, 2009
It’s rare that an object straddles the razor-fine line between art and camp, between craft and kitsch.
Yet here is a little man of bronze, made to recline in the cup of a water-pocked stone.
His blobby countenance, his Giacomettian proportions keep him from being a thing of manufactured cuteness and maybe lend him a bit of gravitas. Or, he could be just a quaint paperweight. I can’t decide.
This is something my father lent to the cause by way of his collection.
