Metallic cat accent
In my way to lunch I caught this metallic cat at the Macaco store. There is an artist in Guatemala City who makes this metallic cat decoration and other type accents and functional art; like clocks and fountains. I have bought a couple to give away. they are very original. Anyhow, Tucson DP posted a picture of Diamondback snake bridge that brought about the discussion of waste of money on art or art-looking items for a city. Also, Wellington DP posted a photo of recent art works. I have seen many photos of sculptures and art in the photos posted by Eric in his Paris DP, which, in my opinion, is what makes Paris such a fascinating city.
Should art be an integral part of the layout and infrastructure of cities?
