I hope I can share some of art works here that I am impressed so much. If this is not the right place please sorry and you can delete my topic.

This is so beautifully taken one, The colours and the sculpture stand great.


The River by French sculpture Aristide Maillol*

But the same sculpture again here,



How can it be different... The first one is great. By the way this sculpture is in the garden of NY art museum.


* Maillol, (1861 -1944) The River is considered Maillol's last masterpiece. In 1938 the artist received the commission for a monument in memory of the pacifist Henri Barbusse. He produced a monumental figure to symbolise the abolition of war. Ironically enough, it was precisely the war that putted an end to the project. Nevertheless, Maillol didn't abandon the statue which he managed to achieve, with a new title, before his death in 1944.
