Statues in Milano, Italy If you believe access to Art is an essential component of a life well-lived – assuming basic critical needs have been met – then you might decide to live in the Northern city of Milan. Architectural beauty exists on almost every street corner in the city centre of this commercial metropolis, and it is a visual and spiritual delight. When you also factor in the high probability of coming across sculptures of this quality, adorning a facade or the entra

Place des Terreaux 1st arrondissement of Lyon The man who created the Statue of Liberty in New York also created this powerful sculpture in the centre of the city of Lyon. This is just one of the horses sculpted by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and is part of La Fontaine Bartholdi. I have photographed this fountain from every conceivable angle and there is always a new configuration of shapes to record. This shot is vignetted to draw attention to the overwhelming sense of drama

The design of Vintage cars was about far more than engineering and technological functionality. These cars celebrated form, aesthetics and culture. The styles, colours and sculptural contours reflect the preoccupations of certain 20th Century art movements, including Art Nouveau and Art Deco; they appealed directly to the senses. Thankfully, the design constraints imposed by aerodynamics and fuel efficiency had yet to play a significant role in their appearance. Headlights, i

Who needs galleries when art would pass you by as you walked down the street. These vintage cars from a bygone era were essentially sculptures on wheels. I couldn’t resist photographing the wonderful collection on display at the Technical and Transportation Museum in Budapest. This is a Jaguar; just look at the sweeping curves, the headlights and the beautiful paintwork… mobile art for all. #Budapestmuseum #photography #cardesign #vintagecars #sculpture

Mario Merz, Zebra,  Novecento museum, Milan, Italy A key member of the Arte Povera group, Mario Merz produced expansive mixed-media paintings, sculptures, and installations, through which he propagated an egalitarian, human-centered vision. Through art, he counteracted what he saw as the dehumanizing forces of industrialization and consumerism. Together with compatriots including Jannis Kounellis and Michelangelo Pistoletto, Merz eschewed fine art materials in favor of everyd

This fascinating ‘gravity defying’ sculpture by Anthony Gormley is located in one of the streets at the centre of Eton College. Wonderful though it certainly is, I just wonder how many sculptures by successful international artists are placed in more prosaic, less privileged environments. If you know of any, please let me know, I really am interested. We could start a balanced collection. #Eton #photography #Art #bronze #sculpture #anthonygormley #figure

La Fontaine Bartholdi is a fountain sculpted by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi(who also created the statue of liberty in New York) and realised in 1889 by Gaget & Gautier. It was erected at the Place des Terreaux, in the 1st arrondissement of Lyon, in September 1892. Pour conclure, je dirais qu’il convient d’être toujours prudent avant de monter sur ses grands chevaux. #petercorr #photography #fountain #horse #animal #Art #sculpture #Lyon #Bartholdi #FontaineBartholdi
