Emile Joseph Carlier, “Gilliat and the Octopus”, Marble, 1880-1890, Museum of Fine Arts, Lyon
Emile Joseph Carlier was a French sculptor born in Cambrai, France. He received his education at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts. He was a member of the Art Nouveau Movement in France. The white marble sculpture “Gilliat and the Octopus” was inspired by Victor Hugo’s book, “Les Travailleurs de la Mer” (The Workers of the Sea) in which Gilliat, a fisherman, fights an octopus in his attempt to retrieve a motor from a sunken wreck.

This eight year old blog relocated from Tumblr to WordPress in December of 2018. Raised in New Jersey, I studied at the Rhode Island School of Design. Now retired, I was a high-end fine art framer who did gallery and museum work. My interests and studies run a wide gamut which includes art, history, film history, philosophy, and oriental / indigenous cultures. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage more exploration.
