Why Do I Like What I Like?
I had been meaning to go to the sculpture park for quite some time, and this assignment gave me enough incentive to get off my lazy ass for an afternoon and head on over there.
So I head past the old spaghetti factory, and run into this fountain.... of a man.... and some boy.... just hanging out, naked.
I had found my subject.
The fountain acts like a snot-nosed 3rd grader, asking more questions then giving answers. Why are they naked? Is this reflecting some father-son bond, or the inner fantasy of someone who has a thing for kids?
The piece seems to have some importance, being at the entrance of the sculpture park, and I wanted to see if a weeks worth of time could point that importance out to me.
After a week of sore throat, runny nose, headache, and no cold and cough medicine in sight; I was ready to brave the few block walk down to the sculpture park.
All in all, I felt like I was overreacting the whole issue, the fountain's really not that bad. Its like you're part of someone else's "naked dream", trippy, yes; but tolerable.
Aesthetically, the figures on the fountain are realistically formed, with a Greco-Roman influenced base and pillars... Not the kind of art piece I'd personally want in my front lawn, but one I can respect for the sake of art.
