Your "weird" statue is actually a small copy of the following:<br /><br />"The statue of Laocoön and His Sons, also called the Laocoön Group, is a monumental sculpture in marble now in the Vatican Museums, Rome. The statue is attributed by the Roman author Pliny the Elder to three sculptors from the island of Rhodes: Agesander, Athenodoros and Polydorus. It shows the Trojan priest Laocoön and his sons Antiphantes and Thymbraeus being strangled by sea serpents."<br /><br />I adore the reproduction, hidden away in the bushes between the 6th and 10th holes of Lincoln Park Golf Course. And yes, it does look weird there.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9868138.post-56433256716539780602009-10-05T17:10:12.755-07:002009-10-05T17:10:12.755-07:00The snake is symbolic of something, but what?

Sometimes, it's hard to wrap your head around whatever the artist is thinking. <br /><br />Did I ever send you the Rhodin Thinker statue sitting in the subway in Paris? Poor thing seems completely out of place there.Tomate Farciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102741033638005250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9868138.post-33943960934662449602009-10-05T16:02:45.234-07:002009-10-05T16:02:45.234-07:00Sometimes the outsides of buildings are more inter...Sometimes the outsides of buildings are more interesting than the insides.
