Angel Arms
Sunday, April 23rd, 2006Anyone want to give a name to this lovely creature. I don’t think Angels are usually represented as having wings for arms and such perky breasts. Is it from Greek mythology or the artist’s imagination?
Near the Hudson in the early 100′s, Upper West Side, 107th street, I think. View Large




you are takin’ some sweet pics with your new camera… this is nice!
Thanks C, and you are looking younger every day.
it’s the botox.
I’m inclined to think she’s some architect’s special creation.
And C-Monster, in this case wouldn’t it be more like "photox"?
Good one,
Irena.
ha ha… yeah! photox… i dig it…it’s my dorian gray portrait…
go go gamma! great find. I heart NY
Angels with breasts seems to have been a thing a century or so ago, on the Upper West Side anyway:
angel"
This creature is on Columbus in the opposite the Natural History Musuem (or slightly north).
This is a great shot too gamma — where is this (I can’t believe I’ve missed it).
My angel is cuter than yours, niznoz. I think it’s just east of Riverside on 107th Street, north side of the street.
Thanks Gamma – I’ll go check her out.
Your angel is a bit of a Goth I think, which is odd for an Angel. The Columbus Ave Angel, however, has a really great personality.
Yeah, she looks happier to be where she is than mine.
i think it is an imaginative extension of the winged cherub…clearly a cherub teen rather than faux-enfant–the Winged Victory of Samothrace is closed in rather limber, lawn materials that show perky breasts too–only her head is missing in the ages.
