Throwback Thursday: Sidewalk Judge!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

 Pictured above is a wonderful work by  Seward J. Johnson, named the Sidewalk Judge.  We both really liked it, and it resides in the Yountville Art Walk.

 

Here is some information on the artists from his website:

Following an early career as a painter, Seward Johnson turned his talents to the medium of sculpture. Since then, more than 450 of Johnson’s life-size cast bronze figures have been featured in private collections and museums in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia, as well as prominent places in the public realm such as Times Square and Rockefeller Center in New York City, Pacific Place of Hong Kong, Les Halles in Paris, and Via Condotti in Rome.

Happy Thursday to All!

He is indeed very life like. I had seen one similar to this on my trips while Mom was still alive.

Hello Alexandra and Ron - art is all around us and we are able to enjoy it when we stop, notice and keep aware.   A bit of imagination helps too.

Hi Ron and Alexandra- this whimsical work by Seward J. Johnson is right up my alley. I wonder how many walk by and think he's real.

I'm sure the sidewalk judge has posed with many a visitor. A nice addition to Yountville's art scene.

It looks like Jed Clampett - or your favorite grandpa. So amazingly life-like and someone you'd want to sit and have a conversation with. Thanks for sharing!

This is wonderful, Alexandra. If I didn't know it was a work of art, my first impression would be that it's a real person sitting there.

I love Seward Johnson's sculptures.  Downtown Lodi has several of his works.  And, I have seen them in Sarasota Florida as well.  Here's some photos I took of the ones in Lodi: https://activerain.com/blogsview/4647964/lodi-s-downtown-renaissance-and-j--seward-johnson-exhibit

Thank you for the link, I enjoyed the photos.  I think there is a duplicate one of the kiss in San Diego by the harbor, when the troops came home. A

There's also a duplicate of "The Kiss" in Sarasota, Florida.  It's at least two stories tall.
