Description

I was yesterday at St Martems Latem (near Ghent) for to hike with my friend Francine and by chance we took photographs of a work of Folon which is in the street on the pavement... while returning home my husband told me he died... Official site officiel FOLON here

Your husband told you HE had died???? Or that the Folon-guy had died? Oooooh...Michel also said something about this artist passing...phew...i thought for a second that your husband had...would be mighty hard for him to tell you that then wouldnt it....bla bla bla. A sad day it is. Wonderful capture of this cool looking statue/creation. Have a wonderful weekend Mary. #:O)

Hello Mary ! As I wrote to cajolargo, it's great to know that others on this site share my sadness about the departure of this great Belgian artist ! For my tribute, see : [http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=1072650 ] I really like your "man with the hat" capture and will for sure pay him a visit next time I'll be in StMaartem Lathem (my patent attorney is located there...) :~)

Wow, don't know what to say to the story. The photo however is a tribute to the artist, as the light is just right to see the piece in volume and design.

the sculpture he made is so beautiful...and your photo is wonderful! i love the lighting and shadows, Mary! What a weird feeling that must have been to have been walking by this man's artwork, admiring it, taking photographs of it, and then a few hours later find out he just died. terribly sad. at least this man has left behind a legacy and the spirit of who he is can be see and felt by those who study his art. i would love to see more images of his artwork! I so much enjoy this image, Mary!!!

Un autre tr bel hommage un peintre et un sculpteur pas comme les autres... J'ai appris la mort de Follon ce matin par la photo de Michel, et vraiment m'a mis une grande claque ! J'ai toujours adorFollon depuis que je suis adolescente, j'avais des posters et des cartes postales de partout dans chambre il y a 25 ans en arrie. Et c'est vraiment un mythe qui s'est eint pour moi qui ai pris pour la premie fois mes pinceaux et fait de l'aquarelle apr avoir vu les siennes.... Merci Mary d'avoir toi aussi eu cette pens, et l'homme au Chapeau restera pour l'ernitson emble et un clin d'oeil son humour aussi. Elle est magnifique et gnte cette sculpture !!!! Gros gros bisous tristounets.

Beautiful and lucky you to see it. It's so sad when one discovers something new and is excited by the prospect only to learn later ...that's it! Well done Mary.. I always love your work..
