Public Art in Pasadena

This morning while we were walking in Pasadena we found this piece of public art across from the Paseo Pasadena.  It it a very beautiful bronze mountain goat on a limestone fountain pedestal.  The limestone is rough cuts of the same material as the building fascia.

A couple of weeks ago we found this new public art installed on California Ave in front of the new parking structure at the Huntington Hospital:

It is according to the plaque in the style of Henry Moore.  Maybe Henry Moore on Steroids.  The plaque itself is an example of political correctness run amok.  It is cast bronze embedded in the lawn with a braille translation.  How a blind person interested in examining sculptures would ever find the plaque is a mystery only a bureaucrat could explain.  But my petty complaints aside the art is nice and very well displayed.
