Most people consider this the "Vaillancourt Fountain" after its sculptor Armand Vaillancourt. However, Monsieur Vaillancourt prefers to call his creation "Quebec Libre!" for his support of Quebec's sovereignty movement from Canada to become its own independent country.

That's one ugly fountain! Does it look more appealing in real life?
ReplyDeleteSue, no the fountain pretty much looks like that.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought of that fountain as very unappealing especially for that area. It's a focal point for tourists though. I have a video of it that makes it a little more appealing but at some point in time I think it needs to go.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great shot. Hope your summer is going well...we are back at school....and just returned from a trip to New Mexico and Michigan....
ReplyDeleteLooks great a work of art. Great post Karen!
ReplyDeleteThe fountain was still pretty new when I first visited the city with my grandmother. I LOVED it when I was 3. When I moved to the Bay Area and had a contract in the city the first thing I did was to go to see if the fountain was still there. :)
ReplyDeleteFunny, I guess it's true that art is in the eye of the beholder. Some people like the fountain and others don't. Thanks for commenting everyone!
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice work of art..=D
