Pinocchio Art

On May 16, 2008, Jim Dine formally presented a nine meter high bronze statue depicting a walking Pinocchio, named Walking to Borås to the city of Borås, Sweden.

Dine previously worked on a commercial book, paintings, and sculptures that focused on Pinocchio. He feels that "the idea of a talking stick becoming a boy like a metaphor for art, and it’s the ultimate alchemical transformation."

Famous quotes containing the word art:

    No theoretician, no writer on art, however interesting he or she might be, could be as interesting as Picasso. A good writer on art may give you an insight to Picasso, but, after all, Picasso was there first.
    David Hockney (b. 1937)
