Hi again,

One thing I forgot to say, was that my interest in non-stone sculptors has a
very productive outcome because they tend to show me ways to put things into
stone sculpture that may never have been done before, hence the interest in
Giacometti, Medardo Rosso and Matisse.

My favourite sculpture, and I dearly wish I could get a thousand pictures of
it is in the British Museum. It is an Indian marble sculpture of what I
think of as a seated scribe/priest. The inscription on it says "Jain
Tirthankara OA 1915.5-15.1" It's the quietest and most serene thing I have
ever seen.

I've sent the BM an e-mail through their "contact" button but never got a
reply, any ideas on how to get through?

The first sculpture to really attract me was a marble "self portrait" by
Ivan Mestrovic shown in a book that I won for art at high school.
Unfortunately all the Mestrovics that I seen since leave me pretty cold!

Best regards Clive
