Argh!!

    I believe this is quite a well know statue done by a prominent artist... I'm afraid but I don't know who that is or what it's called. Someone out there will surely fill me in. Sometimes I feel like this though...:)

      It could be " F**k, no more toilet paper" like my brother once said but it is actually called « Le Malheureux Magnifique »(The Magnificent Unhappy One) février 1972, œuvre du sculpeur Pierre Yves Angers, qui écrit à son sujet:
      « Par son caractère asexué et ses mains de quatre doigts ni gauche ni droite, cette stylisation de la forme humaine vous appelle silencieusement à une réflexion intime sur la condition humaine et la vôtre en particulier. Concrètement devenu avec les années par sa notoriété un lieu de rendez-vous par excellence, elle vous convie tout en douceur par son attitude de repli protecteur à refaire les liens essentiels qui unissent vos vas et vient (sic) quotidien et le destin fondamental de votre vie et de votre présence sur cette petite parcelle de l'univers. »
      Ouch!

      Thanks. let me have a go at it.

      By its asexual character and with it's f four finger hands neither the left nor right-hand side, this stylization of the human form silently calls out to you with an intimate reflexion on the human condition and specifically that of yours. Concretely becoming known over the years as a meeting point par excellence, it invites you all with it's protective attitude to remake the essential bonds which link your essential daily coming and goings with the fundamental destiny of your life and your presence in this small piece of the universe.

      Nice words.
