Quokka- Sculptures by the Sea (Cottesloe)

The annual Sculptures by the Sea exhibition is on now at Cottesloe Beach.

Quokka, issue 710, March 18 2010- Sculptures by the Sea (Cottesloe)

Art fans may recognise the sculptures: Michaelangelo’s David, Rodin’s The Thinker, the Venus de Milo, and Myron’s Discobolus.

The original draft for this cover had a pop culture reference that didn’t quite fit:

I love this. I have a vague recollection the originals didn’t have strategically placed fig leaves or bikinis 😛
