Quetzalcoatl. I looked it up, and I get that the name means feathered serpent, and he’s supposed to be coiled up, but I’m still not sure the sculptor thought enough about how much his cast of Quetzalcoatl resembles a large bronze growler.

Cloven hooves and fangs-sure sign that a feminist did it.

In hell is right! It’s a scene from the Exorcist where the possessed kid is calling for ‘help’ from below.

I saw that awful movie. I don’t remember that part. Is it a new one?

No. It was in the original film.

I’m definitely not inspired or delighted. When hand baskets become short of supply, hell comes to Earth.

Must they be so obvious in their bowing to the demons guiding the European Union, revive Roman Empire?

That looks like Pazuzu from “The Exorcist.”

I am instructed by my socialist wife (bless her) to make this statement. She is university educated and born and brought up in the London area. We have lived in Canada for over fifty years. She has a strong connection to England an especially London. Herewith her statement:

A beautiful old city with historic buildings and art should not be defiled by hideous ugly things. This will help ruin this ancient city. Some people seem to think their creations are a sign of intelligence. It appears to be the exact opposite. What would Leonardo have thought?

There used to be a tradition of sculpting gargoyles for churches- you can see them all over Europe and on our national cathedral as well, and this statue would fit in well with most of them.

It’s not my cup of tea though, and neither are gargoyles, but there is a long tradition of grotesque sculpture, it is not something new to our times.

Seems to me the artist put an awful lot of time, effort and bronze into saying that his mother was a batwinged bitch.

Posts 91, 92 and 93 were in response to tanuki’s comment:
“That [the devil dog statue in the article] looks like ‘Pazuzu’ from ‘The Exorcist.’ “
