This is a bust of the artist's only daughter, Muriel, at the age of four. Reflecting the New Sculptors' interest in multiples, Goscombe John produced this portrait of Muriel in three formats; this head study (at the Lady Lever Art Gallery), a full-length version (exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1896 as ‘Muriel’), and a head and shoulders version (exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1897 as ‘A Maid so Young’).

Muriel later married LV Fildes, son of the painter Luke Fildes. LV Fildes was for many years a Trustee of the Lady Lever Art Gallery but it was Muriel herself who presented to the gallery various works by her father of his family. Both the painter, Luke Fildes, and the sculptor, Goscombe John, were personal friends of Lever, so these family portraits have a very special place in the gallery.

Hello! I see a rare glimpse into what your people looked like.

This stone effigy from prehistoric Memphis moundbuilders, a city in the vast Mississippian culture network, is displayed at the Pink Palace Museum in Memphis, Tennessee.

On Feb 13th '70, the Detroit Free Press reported of the sculpture: "The eyes are caves and the neck is as bunched up and burly as memory says it was." These were the days when local newspapers were dense with florid text for us to laugh at and make fun of. I miss them!

Pendle, Lancashire.

The artist's trail has begun once again (we didn't visit any last year because of covid) and we began with Palais des Vaches, one of our favourites. This sculpture is on display in the newly renovated courtyard; I thought it a striking and compelling piece of art.

This small sculpted head ornament rests on the rim of a pre-Columbian bowl that was created around 1300 A.D.. It was found in a Tennessee earth mound built by a Native American civilization, the Mississippian Culture. The bowl is displayed at the Pink Palace Museum in Memphis, Tennessee.

One of several Day of the Dead sculptures on display in Plaza de Armas.

This being Jacksonville, there is an embarrassing backstory. It does not involve a sculptor thinking this thing would be perfect for this setting, so do not blame the sculptor:

• The mouth thing is a prop, cast off from an exhibit about the human body at the local science museum. There are lines on the tongue showing the taste receptor zones of sweetness, saltiness, sourness, and bitterness.
• This downtown park, Hemming Park, had a Special Events Coordinator, who is employed by a local nonprofit organization that is contracted by the City of Jacksonville to operate the park.
• When the Special Events Coordinator heard that the museum was going to be getting rid of its mouth thing, he decided it ought to be placed at one of the entrances to the park.

As a connoisseur of public sculpture I dislike the thing because there is no hidden reward underlying any perplexity or hostility provoked by its (random) placement here. It is not "confusing-interesting," it is "confusing-stupid." This phony work of avant garde public art is likely only to worsen existing public antipathy toward actual avant garde public art, and I hate to see that.

I like it ten million times more than the monument to Proslavery Confederates elsewhere in the park, however.
