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 blog is a refugee and a survivor of the Great Tumblr Inquisition of December 17th, 2018. I am gay artist, who received training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and now, a retired high-end fine art framer living in Maryland, USA. My interests and studies in life run a wide gamut from art to history and from the scientific to the esoteric. I have been building this blog of images and texts for the last eight years. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage them to experience more.
