Walking around downtown Denver the other day, I once again passed the "Big Blue Bear," which is officially called "I See What You Mean." It is a 40 foot high sculpture of a blue bear peering into the Colorado Convention Center, created by Universirty of Denver art professor Lawrence Nigel Argent. I know I have posted photographs of this bear before on this blog, but I can't resist. It is to Denver what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris - kind of. Sadly, Argent passed away in 2017 at the age of 60 the day after having liposuction surgery. And yes, his family did sue the doctor for malpractice. A sad end to a talented artist.
