Delightful Curious Creatures on a Concrete Bench

at the 

Krannert Art Museum

Urbana Illinois

Unfortunately I can't tell you much about this sculpture except that it's in the wee garden outside the museum.  I searched online but couldn't find any info anywhere, not on this link below either.

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign was established in 1868, and it was as early as 1875 that an art gallery was established in Old University Hall by Regent John Milton Gregory.

What I remember of this day in 2014 is how lucky I was to come across a Goya exhibit titled Goya's War: Los Desastres de la Guerra. Such a powerful and compelling exhibit, and painful. It was also a reminder to me that you don't have to paint huge to make a powerful statement with an artwork. After spending a couple of hours in the museum I sat outside in the wee garden and ate my lunch next to these wonderful curious creatures. They were a whimsical break from Goya's exhibit and a time to just let my imagination soar.

So if you dear reader know who created this sculpture please leave a comment.

cheers
