That’s very beautiful! I never knew she was there. I love the way she looks like she’s moving, like she’s about to dive or jump or something…

I haven’t been the biggest fan of Calder, but this changes my opinion. I resented that he aped the style of Parisian Art Nouveau, but now I realize that he serves to signify the break from Victorian aesthetic sensibilities and probably flourished here because even while The City is known for Victorian style, it certainly isn’t known for Victorian morality, historically.

That said, I still prefer the social realism of the 30s, such as the murals in Coit Tower and the work of Sargent Johnson, even if there are few if any nipples. :P

Tee-hee… I love how your self-portraiture got worked into the set, Violet. Very beautiful statue, very sensual.
