5951 - Oslo Vigeland Park


Naked statues all week? I think I can manage that. (Except Thursday)



"The sculpture depicts 121 human figures clinging and floating together. There's women and men of different ages, and the top of the Monolith is crowned with children. The sculpture has been interpreted as a kind of vision of resurrection, and our longing and striving for spirituality."

The one on the left looks like he is attempting the throw his wife over his head and slam her to the ground. Did she burn the dinner again? Tsk.

I'm sending you the contact information for my psychoanalyst. I think you may need her more than I do.

Oh, I bet you can find some tree that looks like a naked person for Thursday's post.

I was going to pair naked bodies and trees, but Debra already beat me to it.

Sue - DeSantis would have a heart attack... Hmmmm. Oh, and the naked children would make his head explode.

River - He's probably just exercising, right?

Bill - As long as she does Zoom. The drive would be a bit much.

Deb & Kathy - If I can find some that I've already posted, I know there are a bunch out there. I don't know about 20 but maybe 10.

It wouldn't matter here in California. A school trip to Italy were shocked by David and his junk. No art history here.

Lady M said...

Mike - you find the weirdest shit.

Kirk said...

As long as their consenting adults...

Mike said...

Susan - Californians shocked by David? Say it ain't so!

Lady - Hold on to your hat! More to come.

Kirk - Exactly.

Cloudia said...

Yeah that's what It is.

Mike said...

Cloudia - Exactly.
