Outdoor Art by deecat
One of the things I enjoyed most in Old Naples was the architecture and the Public Art Sculptures. Thus, while we were perusing both 5th Avenue and 3rd Street, I would snap photographs of the public art installations. The sad thing about it is that I do not have the names of the artist and the names of the pieces. I have many more than I have presented here, but I wanted to show all different styles.Naples, Florida, is a very art active community. There are so many Art Gallaries and numerous Public Art Installations that it is obvious that Naples is a cultural community.Through the photographs, you can enjoy some of the various art installations in Old Naples.
Photograph #1: This sculpture reminded me of typical sculptures that I saw in Italy, a very classical look.
Photograph #2: Just the opposite is true of this art installation outside one of the largest Art Gallaries in Naples. It is ultra modern and reminds me of the small "windmills" I have in my gardens.
Photograph #3: The Horses of Naples is very popular, even for children
Photograph #4: I just love these sleek human figures that are modern, romantic, and eye-catching
Photograph #5: The most classical of the installation sculptures is this figure atop an urn-like basin. It, too, reminds me of classical European art.
Part of the enjoyment of visiting a city is soaking up the culture of the place and learning about the "personality" of its citizens through their values.
