Brava! What a read!! I've not been fortunate to have seen the David in person, but reading your discussion of the rendering of the statue lets me understand just how important a piece he is. And your description of the Times Square statue tallies with my first-glance astonished
reaction. Glad to say that I have no intention whatsoever of visiting Times Square or NYC and am saved seeing the statue in person.
Art can be like meeting your favorite celebrity. Once you meet them they often underwhelm. It has been 12 years since I was able to see David in person and my opinion, aside from the Pieta, there is nothing as magnificent as it. Nothing. It is perfection. What was put up in New York is trash plain and simple. That guy should stick to finger painting.
Is that George Floyd’s sister?
"Attention Walmart Shoppers" should be the name of that waste of tax payers money.
