Abstractions

Sleeping Muse, 1909-10 by Constantin Brancusi, The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Brancusi began training at a young age after running away from home. He eventually trained with Rodin before beginning his career as a sculptor. He went onto become one of the premier artists of the Abstract movement.

The Perfect Hostesses

The Three Graces by Antonio Canova, 1814-17, The Victoria and Albert Museum.

Canova worked in the Neoclassical style and the subject of this work goes back to that time as well. It depicts three of the daughters of Zeus who represent the epitome of good hostesses as they were in charge of the gatherings when the gods got together. They make a perfect subject matter as they are beautiful young women and many artists over the centuries have chosen to portray them.

Happy Valentine's Day

 Seductive Selection by Peter Anton, 2011

Anton is known for creating sculptures of everyday objects (food is his favorite subject) but making them larger than life.  He feels that food is a celebration of life and that it can be very beautiful, as well. His studio would be a treat to visit since he uses real foods as a model for his work
