Walking Figure


This sculpture by Etrog was  found out front of one of the hospitals along University Ave. There was a lot of construction around it so the shot has been carefully cropped as it was actually difficult to see the piece. Called Pieton which is French for pedestrian this is from Etrog's walking figure period of the 1970s. I showed you a smaller one which I spotted in a front garden last May (HERE).

Etrog's sculptures of abstract human figures are strong statements. Good find, RedPat.

I like the "industrial" look to these sculptures. Very nice.

I immediately had a feeling that I'd seen something like it before - see, I do remember what you include on your blog!

Industrial art at its finest.

A unique and interesting sculpture

Just enough realism to make me uneasy with the industrial look of this.

This pedestrian is a bit short on body parts.

Nice an image that emphasizes the hinges in the human body for a hospital. Clearly some thought has gone into that.
