Another picture that shows the statues outside Yambol's Regional Historical Museum. This one is a sculpture of a nude woman who looks quite vulnerable with her pose. There is the feeling of a very simple art here, but at the same time the most complex subject -A woman! The crazy paved base and the white stone sets this off really well.
Yambol is not the prettiest City in Bulgaria, but it does have a unique character which is now in the process of being captured by camera. What you see now in Yambol will be short lived in a world of change, especially with the EU strangling the heart and soul of Bulgaria's culture with directives and uniform regulations.

Yambol's Museum Statue - Nude Woman

You do have some wonderful sculptures.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I like the simplicity of its lines too.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine this prudish country of mine allowing nude sculptures in public spaces, no matter how tasteful :(
Nice headline Martin-certainly grabbed my attention!!
ReplyDeleteI leave slightly disappointed- but the photograph is nice.
Are there no signs that lists the artist, title, and description of each piece? Otherwise, it keeps visitors guessing.
