as I observe, photograph and meditate with Teresa Fat sculptures, the memories do not stop and I have to crowd the streets and museums of San José de Costa Rica, was a student in drawing, in which sculpture was one of my favorite passions. First in the National Museum where he was to draw the Indian sculptures, totem filled these forms of religiosity and mystery as well as Roman sculptures. But in San Jose National Park there is a monument inaugurated in 1895 to commemorate the expiration of U.S. filibustering army by the Central American Republics represented in the figure of William Walker in 1856-60. The monument came from the workshops of the French sculptor Louis-Robert Carrière Belleuse, master of Rodin, who received it after their failed attempt to enter the College of Fine Arts in Paris and "tells the oral tradition in Costa Rica that Rodin modeled one of his figures" according to the scholar Luis Ferrero.
This contact with the European sculpture in Costa Rica prompted me to make drawings of sculptures drawing pictures of the works of Michelangelo, Rodin and Giacometti, expanding my admiration for the work of art in three dimensions. In 1968 I was in Paris, and the first thing I did was go to visit the Rodin Museum to meet with the teacher, and that meeting me was a wonder that in later years he was to the city \u200b\u200bof the Seine, now Teresa, go to the Museum to breathe the creative flair of one of the greatest sculptors in history.
Now I'm in the street Alfonso with his characters in dialogue with the public, and walk along the street as the first form of bronze is the bourgeois Andrieu d'Andres you to your destination holding the head in his hands like a man condemned by Michelangelo in the Last Judgement, which would study the sculptor in his trip to Italy in 1876. The second sculpture is Pierre de Wissant, with a gesture of hermit in the desert, it seems that preaching like John the Baptist, the reverse of Jean d 'Aire looking aggressively to death or the enemy of France, the British at the time of the year 1347, is completely naked, his hands are strong, like his back, something crooked, shows the labor force. Eustaque Saint Pierre, the eldest, is the position of accepting his fate for the common good, the spiritual power and wisdom of his head recalls the portrait of Michelangelo in the Florentine Pieta in Santa Maria dei Fiore Florence. He who carries the keys to the city for delivery to the enemy, Jacques de Wissant , and that power makes it an icon, like a Caesar or a Patrick of ancient Rome. The youngest, Jean de Fiennes , ask the destination for his youth makes him think of the future and not death, is the figure most unprotected of all, and your body young athletic your muscles will not emerge, is a poem of desolation .
Atop the pedestal The Thinker observes his peers and the public, as in the Gates of Hell , this great man who embodies all that studied by Rodin in Italy, whose torso is the same Belvedere torso of Michelangelo loved and cared so much and that Goya served for the pictorial sculpture is Colossus.
That whole drive belt sculpture ever found in the street Alfonso de Zaragoza, sponsored by the City Council and La Caixa, the program Street Art and is a marvel to see the sculptures mixed with grandparents, marriage, the lonely, young children, talking, photographing this art and this reminds me of Giacometti the phrase "I prefer life to art."
