Pieces of outdoor art around the city of Montreal
The pieces that I'm about to show were made by different canadian aritists and they all have a meaning into it. These pieces are located mostly on Sherbrooke street.
This first sculpture is the work of Richard Mason
Twin 6' Hearts is my favor sculpture. It was made by Jim Dine. These iconics symbolize love. The Twin 6' Hearts is a gift from the International Friends of the Montreal Museum.
In fornt of the museum of Fine Arts on Sherbrooke street there is a bronze sculpture entitled Claudia is of a strong serene cow at rest. It was made by canadian artist Joe Fafard.
The next piece is call "CACTUS" made by Van Fisher
At the corn of Peel and Sherbrooke street there is a sculpture I admire the most. It is call "LA TENDRESSE" (tenderness) by Paul Lancz. It describes a relationship between mother and child.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Please let me know if there is something you want know about the city of Montreal so while I'm here I can look at it and tell you. Bye
