Odd bits of art....well, one odd bit anyway.

Henri Gaudier-Brzeska Bird Swallowing a Fish circa 1913-14, cast 1964 1913-1914. Just on the edge of the period. Henri_Gaudier_Brzeska died in the first year of the Short Twentieth Century. Bird swallowing a fish still stuns in its machine influenced modernism. This bronze, at present on show in 'Tate_Britain' as the Gallery is now called, was cast by Henry Moore in the sixties.
