Johan Cretan

There are so many beautiful and fascinating images from Johan Cretan to marvel at that it was difficult to pick just one!I guess I will go with "why does strange fruit always look so sweet". I am not sure if the statue was there first and has just been covered, or if this was made at the same time as the fruit like coverings. Either way, this piece is fun to look at! The circular structures consuming the otherwise mundane (even if elegant) statue of a human-like figure (I am assuming because of the form, legs, and feet), the harsh contrast between lines and circles, (gorgeous)colors on white. Very playful! Again, another piece I would love to touch!************I was unable to copy the images in anything other than in "thumbnail" form, sorry. But, I did want to write about this artist as I really like many of the images. I did manage to find a front and back image of what appears to be the same creation :)
