Nov 16, 2009: Figurative Sculpture
This in Jeanne...
Jeanne is one of Lisa Lichtenfels' fantastic figurative sculptures. Unlike other sculptures, these are built like a real person. Starting with a wire frame that's turned into a skeleton, she adds properly shaped muscle structure, then a skin of woven nylon (think nylon stocking material), that gives a realistic texture and colorings. Quote:
I would also imagine they are out of my price range, but she sells photographic prints taken with a large format camera, of her work. She also sells books and instructional DVDs, so you can build your own. Many of her sculptures are in museums, but some are for sale at CFM Gallery in New York. Quote:
If you're in the Erie, PA, neighborhood, check out the Erie Art Museum, they have "The Avalon Restaurant" and "Krazy Horse Saloon". Quote:

"figurative sculpture" = dolls. in fact, they're called art dolls, and Ms. Lichtenfels has a book out, too:

Absolutely amazing. I have deep respect for artists who create real looking things. Now that's talent. I think it is refreshing also to see someone do an angel that is not beautiful and perfect. Good image Bruce. Thanks.

Yeah, I love these things. She has a number of angels, of varying ages, at her site.

I am also relieved to learn that you can smoke in heaven. I was contemplating going to hell for that very reason.

Smoking in Hell would consist of having a room full of cigs in your favorite brand and NO lighter!

Of course we're assuming she's an angel. Maybe Granny Jeanne is just getting ready to "Shake a Tail Feather".
