Henry Moore Three Standing Figures (1953) I was four years old when Mr. Moore brought this sculpture to life but I will now do what four thousand people have done before me: I will give names to those three figures. PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE symbolizes my connection to the Norton Simon Museum. PAST When I lived in Burbank, I visited the Pasadena museum frequently and loved every minute of it. (Despite the shock to the system when they dis-allowed smoking on the premises.) PRESENT Exactly one week ago today, I returned to the Norton Simon for the first time in twelve years. The mixture of memories, fun, "stealth photography," and aesthetic appreciation were thoroughly intoxicating. My gratitude to my best friend in Long Beach cannot be measured, partly because he–not me–did the driving. FUTURE I eagerly await a double-date at the Norton Simon: my best friend with his wife plus Mr. And Mrs. CarPeo. The next Stealthiverio/Norton Simon page is here. |
