And its going to be in the Louvre! Let's get June, Ward and the Beaver and go see it!Yep, that Wally, Tony Dow, will have a sculpture on display at the Louvre titled "Unarmed Warrior" from December 11th to the 14th.
Originally, the sculpture had arms until Eddie Haskell heard it was going to be at the Louvre and decided to take it out to try and pick up girls. The arms were lost in comical, but unfortunate accident involving popcorn, and a top hat at an early 3D movie. Afterwards, Haskell charmed everyone into believing the accident was caused by a mysterious one armed man.
I think this is kind of cool. Sometimes former celebrities have strange talents and go onto successful second careers...although I am not sure Wally and the Beaver would fully appreciate abstract sculpture!
I don't get it. Just can't see it. Wouldn't be the first time art has gone over my head.
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure I appreciate the sculpture either but I loved your post it cracked me up. I long for the days of Leave it to Beaver :)
ReplyDeleteIts always fun to find out what someone's "hidden talent" is.
Well, kk, he made it big with his 'art,' now didn't he...I sort of like stuff I can really see...I'm with you, I have no idea what it is...but if it is art, I guess I don't know 'Art' very well.
ReplyDeleteKinda looks like someone used it for target practice.
ReplyDeleteAs kids, we spread the rumor that if June's pearl necklace were removed, her head would fall off.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a lovely sculpture - not quite Brancusi but spiritual just the same. Thanks for sharing hale-bopp.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't art. What it is, is the spru and failed casting of what was to be something else. The main casting failed, so the "artist" turned the spru upside down and claimed it as his sculpture.
ReplyDeleteWhat is a spru? It is the fill spout in a sand casting. A form is used to shape the special casting sand, and then a spru (or fill hole) is formed in the sand so the molten metal flows into the cavity. Sometimes when the pour isn't poured fast enough, or the metal isn't hot enough, it solidifies too quickly to fill the mold. What you have then, is a mold of the channel that should have been cut off and thrown away from the "true artwork."
This is no more art than a seashell found on the beach. Interesting and perhaps even beautiful to behold, but no more art than a grain of sand.
You can't talk about Wally that way. I'll kick your butt!
