Andrés Valvader 21 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Coinciding with the launch of the book John Williams: Life and work, we present to all fans and admirers of the master this new work. A magnificent and original bronze sculpture, to serve as a coda to this book. Thus closing the circle projected in such forward three years ago.WILLIAMS SCULPTUREWILLIAMS SCULPTURE (Purchase)JOHN WILLIAMS: Life and Work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I really like the new one. I would definitely get it if it were less expensive (ie $20-30), and obviously made of a less expensive metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 This whole thread is ridiculous. John Williams bronze sculptures? Really?Everyone knows the only appropriate material for a John Williams sculpture is marble. He should also be giving the "I'll try!" thumbs up.

Thor 7,504 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Ha, ha, hilarious! I'm reminded of the cover of Gramophone a few years ago, where they had this bust of John Williams. That, at least, looked pretty decent. I have the magazine,but couldn't find a linkable picture online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 It's unintentionally hilarious, so of course I want one. Not at that price though.

Wojo 2,453 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Is there money in bronze sculptures of composers? I'm saving my money for the bronzed John Williams. It'll prevent all decomposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Should have been carbonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 As a material, carbonite is fictitious. The term also applies to an explosive. But as the famous carbonite pose of Han Solo in distress, it's hard to top the one of George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
