the wide world around us spins and spins with ugliness and idiocy (the so called federal educational reforms in the US produced more ignorance then ever since the 1960s), perhaps in its usual fashion, so there is some beauty to be found in the bronze works of Frenchman Pierre-Jules Mene.
From time to time I do some equine sculpture (in plastiline and in Aves Apoxie clays ), I find it to be a great exercise for the eye, mind and hands, and moreover definitely increases my knowledge of the horse anatomy, movement and beauty.
