Who is Using My Book As A Guide to Boston's Monuments Boston, MA?

Ms Gallager and The Diamond Middle School Students beginning their adventure in seeking the dozens of Boston Monuments in Boston, MA are here below at the Fenway entrance of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, MA

Using my guide book "Boston Bronze and Stone Speak To Us" as their tool to discover the many art/historic treasures within our great city of Boston, they find here Antonio Lopez Garcia sculptors' modern sculpture " Night and Day" . Lopez was first associated with "magic realism"and juxtaposed peculiar nominations of images people and places, resulting in mysterious interesting compositions such is the one below.

" The hallmark of Lopez's work is its timelessness; he is an old master in the contemporary world," said exhibition curator Cheryl Brutvan MFA.

Inspired by his two grandchildren one awake the other asleep "Baby Head" amazes all of us of the simple wonders of this world.

About The Author

Joseph R. Gallo Jr. is not a historian nor a sculptor. He is a student and great appreciator of both academic fields. Trained as an educator and being an entrepreneur, he felt a need to reach out to the thousands of visitors who come to our historical city teaching them through this guidebook the purpose and reason why such beautiful works of art embellish our fair City of Boston. Compiling updated photos and historical text for the resurrection of a much needed simple-to-use guidebook Boston Bronze and Stone Speaks To Us was time consuming, but fulfilling. The purpose and meaning of these monuments is made more lucid with the structuring of this new book.
