Spent yesterday at the Museo Pedro de Osma in the Lima neighborhood of Barranco admiring colonial religious everything, including Cuzco school paintings of archangels, inlaid mosaics of the Virgin and — my favorite — some truly awesome 18th century sculptures of heads. From top to bottom: Jesus, St. John the Baptist and an anonymous figure who I’m convinced could have been a member of Los Bukis.
P.S. I’m still in Peru. But you can find this week’s Gallerina guide to artsy goodness over at WNYC.
Los Bukis, Schmos Bukis. That third head is a ringer for Paul Giammati, the “Sideways” guy.
no way. that is pure marco antonio solis…. http://www.xtremedia.net/main/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/tag1.jpg
To me they all sorta look like Charles Manson.
Totally freaky. Hopefully this inspires E-C to do some Jesus heads in LES
