Arriving almost at the end of the Embarcadero region is the Cupid’s Span (Great Bow and Arrow), an incredible open-air sculpture by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen.
The artists stated that the piece was inspired by San Francisco’s reputation as the port of origin of Eros (my namesake in the case… hahah).
Leydier and Penwarden wrote: “Love’s trademark weapon naturally evokes the city’s permissive and romantic reputation, while formally its tense curve resonates wonderfully with the structure of the famous suspension bridge in the background.”
I took the picture of that painting also in San Francisco, at the Weinstein Gallery.
I believe that the sculpture and the phrase totally match the beautiful and pleasant city of San Francisco - CA.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos with us, was this your first visit to San Francisco? What did you enjoy the most during your trip?
As a huge street art lover, I would like to thank you once again, especially for the first photo. Do you like street art as well?
I’m sharing with you a photo of one of my favorite street art illustrations in Sofia. Unfortunately, it got a bit destroyed, but still love it very much!
Yes, it was my first visit to San Francisco.
I found the city fantastic.
I even made a post earlier, recognizing the accessibility and respect that the city promotes: Accessibility means Social Inclusion!
I liked everything, the climate, the respect, the architecture, planning and especially having known Google. I had the opportunity to participate in the Summit Google Street View in 2018 and it was an incredible experience, where I was able to personally attend a lecture by Raymond Kurzweil, among others.
I also like art, illustrations and street art.
Thank you for sharing this photo, very cool. Bulgaria must be an incredible country, I don’t know it yet.
This art reminded me of a selfie that I was happy to capture with some butterflies too, I even posted it here and you had enjoyed the title phrase: "The secret isn’t following the Butterflies, It’s taking care of the Garden, so that they come to you!" by Mario Quintana.
