I'm over at the Nelson frequently and tour and walk all over that place. But a couple months ago I was walking out of the Bloch Gallery and came across this statue and garden.
I was stunned.
Stunned for two reasons.
For one, I found that the Nelson had a Renoir sculpture. I thought that nearly unbelievable.
And two, I found I didn't KNOW they had a Renoir sculpture. I nearly couldn't believe I wasn't aware of it.
I'll bet most people in the area don't know we have one.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should put this up.

I am one of those who didn't know that Renoir did sculptures. I can see his style in this one, though.
ReplyDeleteKevin, I was surprised myself.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely Renoir sculpture! I wish we had more sculptures in my city!
ReplyDeleteBTW, what R U knitting these days?
I love his sculptures.
