This time-filled beauty is called "Horatia"

In Italian the meaning of the name Horatio is: Timekeeper. Derived from the Roman clan name Horatius. The close friend of Hamlet in Shakespeare's tragedy.

The feminine version of the Timekeeper.

She also conjures up within me  Frida Kahlo.

The two versions of the clock at the Musee D'Orsay illustrate to me Einstein's quote above
as to whether time is concrete or not......

“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.”

The Metropolitan Museum of Art also has a time exhibit currently on display.  

This is one of my favorite pieces.  It is Diana the huntress in her chariot clock from 1610.
 
The chariot, when wound up, was designed to move across the table of a court dinner.  Diana's eyes dart back and forth, the leopards gallop forward and the monkey's arm moves up and down.  

At the end of her ride she shoots the arrow!  
​Hopefully not in someone's face.

Time is clearly "In"
​if both The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the
Loft Artists Association
are spotlighting it in their exhibits!

Check out "Watching the Clock"  thru March 13, 2016.  
The gallery is open Sat & Sun 1P - 4:30P.


Time to go,
