Garden Etiquette # 4 - Playing with Henry Moore Sculpture

This might appear to be Garden Etiquette # 4 - don't play on the sculptures by famous artists.  The Henry Moore sculpture in front of the Art Gallery of Ontario gets a lot of wear and tear, and takes it well. Children were playing on it last week when I was there. A close-up view of the sculpture reveals the detailed textures that form the skin of what seems to be such a smooth surface.  And with some processing, the variation of colour really shows.  It is the reflections of the signs on Dundas street along with the sky.

Abstracts in the City - the AGO Staircase

I climbed the staircase in the AGO for the first time.  I can imagine that this is the first of many times.  There is a lot to see in the curves, lines, textures and details.  There will be interesting differences with the change in light and time of day.  

It is great to have a city like Toronto to be able to explore in.

AGO Henry Moore Exhibit - June 2014

I've visited the Henry Moore sculpture in front of the AGO many times.  Its texture is so complex.  I marvel at something new every time.  Most people take their pictures in front of this beautiful sculpture, but for me this abstract below gives a sense of how wonderful the experience of sculpture in the outdoor landscape is and how much there is for the photographer to interpret.

Here is the Henry Moore exhibit within the art gallery.  The monochrome setting again highlighted the wonderful forms and texture of his work.
