The Preview

Leopold Rabus
La lumiere ne brule pas dans un vieux poteau.
The light doesn't burn on an old pole.



Hand and egg shell could be a good #twintuesday combo for tomorrow on Insta.  I saw this piece of art through the window at a gallery in the Marais.  I took the photo and then later thought it wouldn't be appropriate to post the photo without crediting the artist. So I went searching all over tarnation for the gallery later in the week.  Could not find it so I gave up the search.  Then a few days later, I came upon the window by surprise.  It was nowhere near where I had been looking. Note to self --- stop trying to find things and also write down artists' names when you photograph their creations.

I have been reading about Leopold Rabus and looking at more of his artwork here.  Leopold is Swiss and he's 45 years old. I couldn't find much about his love life but he was married to a woman named Anna Hirsch a few years ago. I hope they're still together.

I'm enjoying these French art adventures so much.

That arm is astonishing.

Wow! Love the work of Rabus. Thanks for finding his name and sharing. I have had the same issue as you--taking a photo of some great piece of art and then forgetting who made it. I now have a new strategy that I used at the Art Institute recently. Take the photo and then take a photo of the name (if there is one). Love your trip!!

I'm gonna have to say that this piece kind of freaks me out a bit.

I agree with Janet that this photo is striking in a bit of a scary way.
