The above photo is taken from "The Boston USA" Facebook newsfeed. The winter cap made for this modern Spanish Bronze sculpture reflects the sensitivity, frolic and feeling Bostonians have for their public works of art.
"Baby Head" or "Night" mirrored by "Day" bronze work, guarding the Fenway entrance of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, surprises us as we enter the historic MFA.
People are continuously interacting with these assessable public art sculptures. The "Day"photo above emits this winters' cold and snowy characterics. Bostonians answer these prolonged wintry days and nights with tasteful humor.
"Day" and "Night" by Antonio Lopez Garcia modeled these after his second granddaughter, Cameron. One with eye open and another with eyes closed.
“The hallmark of López’s work is its timelessness; he is an old master in the contemporary world.”
As the author of "Boston Bronze and Stone Speak To Us", I truly enjoy this dynamic interaction between our public art monuments and boston's citizenry.
