Clinging to the Top, Old Snapshot Photo of Tower Climber Emile Bluteau sculpture on heavy weight tan paper

on heavy weight tan paper

those grids of black dots for windows framed in blue and swipe of purple-gray paint along the bottom in combination with that orange roof really do it for me

and apparently just for boys:(

so he was about 13 when he made these drawings

Clinging to the Top, Old Snapshot Photo of Tower Climber Emile Bluteau sculpture on heavy weight tan paperI love the way the man at the top of this rather make shift feeling tower clings to its post and gazing upward as if his climbing was not done for the sake of conquering the tower, but rather for the sake of getting closer to the heavens! Nice, too, that the tower topper extends beyond the top edge of the frame. 4 1 4" x 3 1 4" and in good condition, clearly removed from an album, with residue on the reverse.
