France during the recent elections were defaced with startlingly meaningful
and artistic touches. BTW, 85% of the electorate voted in the presidential
elections, which were held on Sundays. The first election was a choice
between 12 candidates, then two weeks later, the second election was a
run-off between the two candidates receiving the most votes.
The white lion is from a photo taken by Rob Menapace.
The multicolor lion is the head of a sculpture project by Denis Gaydier, featuring maps and travel between Lyon and Italy, with Joconde featured on the nose.
The female lion is from a painting.
The marble lion head can be found carved into the mantlepiece of the solarium in the Lumiere Museum.
Reference
and deference, lightedheartedly, to Denis Gaydier, famous French artist
who turns Mona Lisa into a sort of Fregoli, ready for all "transformations."
(from the book, "50 Visages de la Jaconde." by Denis Gaydier)
