Once upon a time, Art-Deco Style was popular in Prague.
Every economist will love this mural and
mathematicians will appreciate the use of the Mobius strip.
I think it raises the question each national economy faces:
Guns or Butter? Any thoughts on this?
This image required a double-take. Fortunately it's a statue.
Dvorak hailed from Prague. Apparently before being a composer,
he was an artist. Here, beside the banks of the Vltava River,
old and new statues offer contrasting styles and subject matter.

There is so much good humor in the placement of these monuments that it is hard to resist. I do want to add that the 'stuff' of the modern statue which shares the square with the more traditional seems to be letters from many different alphabets blended to make a sitting man whose arms are wrapped around his knees. [Can you see that head above, open face, arms around knees?] What is most inspirational, this work is lit up from inside and below at night so that a life force seems to glow out of it. Wow!
The little girl is quite high up on a wall facing into a solid wall across a walkway. The walkway seems no wider than the shorter wall's height. I'll bet many people walking through completely miss her! Very clever placement.
