Not only is he familiar with the statue of limitations, but also the limitations of statues…
/// Here we see Sculptor Jean Carriès in
his own Studio, where he has been
working on a large bust.
Has a sharp stick been thrust
through its head out the throat near its chin?
A painter doing a portrait of the sculptor doing a bust of the painter . . . How meta.
Denizens of the upper crust/
Have found that it’s safe to entrust/
Their busts to Carriés/
For – to earn people’s praise/
He does whatever he must.
‘’Baby? What Baby?…..oh, That Baby! ….don’t worry, I’ve given him some laudamun he’ll be sleeping for hours."
The sculptor Jean-Joseph Carriès
Heard the countless ancient stories
Of brazen heads that once constructed
Spoke with human voice, then self destructed
.
He tried to duplicate the miracle
But had not firm methods empirical
To animate them as did Francis Bacon
Not of fired clay but brass had his made then
But the busts and masks he made of metal
Seemed tortured and everyone did unsettle
Each bronze visage seemed wholly in distress
No wonder to have them speak was no success.
After waiting 20 mins for 3 pints of lager and a packet of crisps, Gerald Tully suddenly realises he needs to go to Specsavers.
The sculptor, deciding who to snuggle with in bed tonight.

My favorite is “Busts: Florence”

Jack’s vulgar job: chiseling down Medusa’s victims to all fit in her collection room.
LOL, one of your best!
