Photo of the Week

Here we see an objet d'art in our local museum's sculpture garden, cloaked in snow from the recent blizzard. It's an early work in gilded marble by Alexander Von Himmelfarb, considered a leading exemplar of the neoclassical "Meretricious School".

Actually, I just made that up. This is a kitschy garden ornament I picked up off the street a while back (I wrote about it here) and stuck in our backyard, where we also display another now snow-covered sculptural masterpiece.
