"Reclining Torso"

This sculpture, "Reclining Torso", has been one of my favourites for years and every time I see it I am struck by its visual strength. It was done by John Filion in 1969 and sits in the front courtyard of an office building along St Clair Ave. I tried to keep the signage of the neighbouring coffee shop out of the pic!

...well Starbucks is everywhere, even in Tim's neck of the woods. That poor person worked so hard at the gym that it's limbs fell off. Thanks for sharing!

Very weird looking.

A bit odd, but that's just my reaction.

I think it a bit strange, but I like strange things :)

Now there's an excellent sample of core body strength!

Linda said...

Yes, it does look strong!

Looks like it´s getting up again.

Strong indeed Pat. Those core muscles would be like steel after 51 years :)
