Started with Andy, my British trainer. We met in a local park and wonderfully it is the park that houses the fabulous Miro sculpture, l'oiseau lunaire. I even did my pushups off the base! Of course it's not this green now since it is mid-winter.
The critic David Sylvester wrote of this 1968 sculpture: 'The bird moon rises with her unbridled libido and rises above the human race. At closer look, the figure may represent a matron.' He also says that both this sculpture and the partner, l'oiseau solaire, "carry an extremely dreamlike mantle. From whatever angle one looks, one can see an elephant trunk, a seal, a boat, a horse, a motorcycle, a turtle that swims, a beast of burden, etc."
Today was frigid....and my bank card issue seems to finally be resolved. Tomorrow night I will go to Patricia Laplante-Collins Paris Soirée at an Indian restaurant in the 5th.
