MVSEVM OF FINE ARTS


When I was walking up the steps of the Museum of Fine Arts, I happened to look up at the name carved over the entrance to the museum, and it was done in the old style.  Thus, the strange spelling in the title.  Next.  So this is a brilliant wire sculpture of a cow, done by Alexander Calder about 1929.  The title of the sculpture is "Vache" (Cow).  It is absolutely brilliant in its conception.  Look how clever it is.  Humor and lightheartnedness were always important to his work.  Note the accompanying cow pie!

Very creative. I would not have expected this in 1929.
