a lovely uplifting post, thank you james. as U.S. folk singer and political activist phil ochs said over 50 years ago, "ah but in such an ugly time the true protest is beauty"
The King Arthur is stunning and ghostly evocative. These are all great. I don't see a way to at least buy you a cup of coffee so doing a one month subscription in its place.
That mankind is capable of imagining and creating incredible beauty, grace, and messaging in art, music, and dance while simultaneously devising and causing so much vile death, destruction, and disharmony may be THE most unanswerable, dichotomous conundrum.
When the base and callous depravity of our 'supposed' leaders who glamour for our respect floods and poisons our media stream, it is such a vital and refreshing breeze to come across your posts. Thank you so much. Beauty itself is uplifted by your attention.
Thank you for this lovely reminder that beauty is timeless! I didn’t know that Sarah Bernhardt was such an accomplished sculptor
She was unbelievably talented
One of Sarah Bernhardt’s sculptures is in the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC. She is a master.
Reading this with my 10 year old. He wanted to make sure I let you know that these are pretty cool sculptures. :-) (I agree)
That totally made my day. Your kid clearly has fantastic taste!

Love this
Thanks for sharing! I always wonder how these sculptures were made, so precise, so detailed, so real.
Sometimes I seriously question if they were once real people, turned to stone by some ancient alien tech, like a Medusa situation.
They just look too perfect to be purely human-made. Just saying. 😄

Thanks so much for your kind words and support!
You should offer a cup of coffee option. Will show up as E.W. on donation.
Thank you for sharing these and reminding us of the beauty the human spirit holds.
Thank you for sharing these. How did I never hear that Sarah Bernhardt was an amazing sculptor also?! Wow…
I can’t stop looking the Ophelia—just stunning!
All of these are beautiful in their own way. I do love the Angel of the North in England too.

Gallos completely captivated me when I came across it unawares. Glorious.
A wondrous array!
Thank you for reminding us that art can heal and can mirror our collective humanity and wonder. I loved the quote by John Lennon.
All great images. The one of Christ, the abyss I’ve never seen before. TY 🩷
