Arvid Kallstrom

What a fine public monument by
Arvid Kallstrom (1893-1967).

This figure seems so
cheerful and sophisticated.

If he were a banker
he would definately
give you the loan.







And how well it sits
against
the building behind it.

Symbolizing
a well-ordered
but compassionate
society.











But also a society
where people
like to run around
with their clothes off.








They seem so comfortable
out there in the front yard.








Scandinavian countries
are just a little more comfortable
with nudity
than us North Americans.







They're cheerful about it.











And Kallstrom
comfortably moves among
a variety
of styles




What a delightful head!





But mostly
he just likes to play.


And I suppose that's why
everything he does
feels so enjoyable.
