Jean de Lattre de Tassigny
Saturday, January 31, 2009 Publié par Eric Tenin
I attended a conference at the Dauphine University this (Friday) morning and next to the university, I found this sculpture in honor of Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny. He was a French war hero who fought during World War I and II and the war of Indochina where he lost his only son. As you can see, we're having fabulous weather in Paris at the moment. I hope it'll stay that way this weekend as I have important photos to take ;-)

I like it! The lettering intrigues me, it seems to cover across one proud part of the plinth if you see what I mean?

Wow am I GF, am I am I? he heeeeee!

By the way the temperature drops tomorrow night in the UK at least, to -1 C and we are due SNOW again next week!! I'm guessing it will be similar for you so make the most of that sun. :)

Hey the weather looks so Springlike. It won't be long, eh? I did not know of this war hero...fascinating. So many stories, so many lives lost. Enjoy the sunshine and congrats Lynn.

Hey Lynn...I didn't mean to cut into your dance. ;-)
January 31, 2009 12:20:00 AM GMT+01:00
lol that's ok Coltrane. I was kind of uncomfortable being excited at GF but noting the sadness of a loss of life, so it's a good thing we did it between us.

I love the solemnity of this bust and the proportions between it and the wall behind.
I can feel a cool, peaceful atmosphere. Something out of the time, out of the rush.

GF Lynn!
And sweet coltrane right underneath in the warm spot.
I must say that's one hell of an impressive tribute. One look and I could tell he was an honored war hero. The artist in me really likes is the texture of the wall. Looks like an ocean from far above.
I can't wait to see your "important photos" Eric!
January 31, 2009 12:34:00 AM GMT+01:00
Yessss what are they? I think I can guess those important photos. I'm going to be patient though. ;)
January 31, 2009 12:58:00 AM GMT+01:00
He looks like such a proud man, yet one with sadness about him as well.
Nice photo, Eric.

I like this bust very much. I presume it's a good likeness, with the artist expressing an opinion as well. Look how broad the shoulders are, how direct the lettering. I notice there are fresh flowers, too!

Even in the tiny thumbnail view of this in my Follow list I could tell the photo was special. I love the split of light and shadow here.

He does look sad, Christie - the things he must have seen - so much captured in this beautiful monument of respect. And the balance and shadow - quite breathtaking, Eric.
On a lighter note, that's a lovely little dance you did, Lynn and Coltrane!
Lynn, we use degrees celsius in Australia so I imagine you use the same in the UK since we get all our good habits from you ;) ?

What a nice thing to say Shell! Well currently yes we use C but I was brought up using F so I get confused sometimes! I'm an 'old money' girl.
By the way I'm designing my crown on FB - all welcome to come and help! lol. So far it has diamonds, chocolate, champagne, perfume and to honour today's pic I shall wear it on my bust. Pah!
January 31, 2009 2:08:00 AM GMT+01:00
I shall eat some dark chocolate in your honour, Lynn! {Though I confess, I never need an excuse...}

Congrats to the first winner of the GF award!
January 31, 2009 5:27:00 AM GMT+01:00
Yes, congrats to the first winner of GF, from the second (sort of). You & coltrane are pretty cute.
Agree with Christie that he does look a bit sad—but also very determined.
Eric -- Like Lynn, I think I know what (or who?) you're photographing this weekend, but I'll be patient too.
January 31, 2009 7:07:00 AM GMT+01:00
I like the balance and symetry. Always something unusual at PDP.
January 31, 2009 1:18:00 PM GMT+01:00
Thanks Phx & Alexa! My crown's awfully heavy...but I'm glittering beautifully.
January 31, 2009 8:26:00 PM GMT+01:00
Lynn - how about some tiny crystal icicles in honour of the weather?
January 31, 2009 9:29:00 PM GMT+01:00
Oooh great idea. Yes!
January 31, 2009 11:55:00 PM GMT+01:00
Isnt'it quite unusual to have a naked bust as a statue of a Marechal who lived during the last century -and not during the Antiquity ? I do think it is. Actually this makes him be more modern and special than any other statue of a Marechal.
That's the man we are given to see here.
