Young Walt Whitman Singing
Alexander Calder, c. 1935
Plaster model submitted by Alexander Calder to a competition held in New York City.
The sculpture is placed in front of the window of the Walt Whitman birthplace on Long Island. The window has the impression of a very well-known daguerreotype of the young Walt Whitman in carpenter's garb which was used for the first edition of "Leaves of Grass."
I added a little texture to my photo...
Waiting to see your Window Views for this week. Please sign Mr. Linky, leave a comment and visit your fellow bloggers. :)
Our thoughts go out to the Haitian people and the devastating earthquake that hit their country yesterday. Help is on the way according to President Obama.
Nous sommes avec vous!

How funny... Sandy and I were just discussing Whitman this very morning. What a coincidence, yeah?
Nice capture, Mary...and I like that added texture. Nice.
nice capture indeed and your sculpture finds are the best.
Nice shot of a beautiful sculpture..the impression on the window is so good!
Such an artistic photo! A beautiful capture!
Very nice, Mary. Whitman's poems are still loved and read.
Oh, that is beautiful! I love Whitman. One of the great American romantics.
Interesting juxtaposition of the two images of Whitman! Great shot for a window theme!
What a clever idea. I'm now going back to my blog to link.
Very special photo !
Belgium has sent already doctors and medical material, tents etc yesterday to Haiti, I think all western countries are participating to help these poor people, who are already so poor !
The daguerrotype on the window is a great idea and goes well with the bronze sculpture.
I will not concur on it. I think nice post. Specially the designation attracted me to review the sound story.
Nice brief and this mail helped me alot in my college assignement. Say thank you you as your information.
