HE’S GOT GLOVES BUT A SWEATER MIGHT HELP

A little further down in Citygarden, Pinocchio seems impervious to the cold. Jim Dine’s Big White Gloves stands without shivering in short sleeves and pants. Maybe he is showing off, given his desire to become a real boy.              

SAINT LOUIS SCULPTURE IN TINTYPE - PINOCCHIO

 

These images seem like they come from another time, which I guess is the point. Still in Citygarden, Jim Dine’s Big White Gloves shows Pinocchio exultant, although I’m not sure why. He seems to be some way from his goal of becoming a real boy.

There was an article in the local newspaper yesterday about prominent public sculpture in our town. I know some but not all. Lots of ideas.
