enfin!


La fontaine conçue par Max Ernst en 1967 a été restauré et une nouvelle place autour d'elle a été construite. Il n'a pas encore été officiellement dédié et ainsi les eaux de la fontaine ont pas encore été renouvelées. Donc, rester en attente. Mais la rénovation est magnifique. Voici un "avant et après" de l'une des sculptures:

At last!  The fountain designed by Max Ernst in 1967 has been restored and a new plaza around it has been constructed.  It has not yet been formally dedicated and so the fountain waters have not yet been restarted.  So stand by.  But the renovation is magnificent.  Here is a "before and after" of one of the sculptures:

  1. A nice and interesting fountain, Stuart !
    What represents the sculpture, perhaps a frog?

    1. Well, I could only guess what was in the mind of Max Ernst! But I think he does have an amphibian look to him.

  2. Ah--now I know where that odd silhouette in the blog skyline header comes from--none other than one of Ernst's frogs!
