For this week's edition of The Sunday Art Review, I decided to feature sculpture and vases. I photographed all of the pieces myself, which you probably worked out by looking at the poor quality of the images. We have an abundance of wonderful art here in Palm Springs, with numerous galleries, museums and extensive collections in private homes as well. Aside from being a member at the Palm Springs Art Muesum, I enjoy viewing various kinds of art wherever I go. I almost always have a camera handy to capture anything that catches my eye. For some reason this piece to the left mesmerized me. The color was deep and rich, the shape was enticing. It was so smooth and shiny that I found myself slipping along it's edges, almost feeling the touch of the "mother" depicted in this piece. Above left: This sculpture is entitled "Mother and Child", but sadly, the artist unknown.

The sculpture of Jean-Pierre Hobon:
above: both of these metal sculptures are 5' high, and had wonderful imagery within. Look for the birds on the right.
