This public contemporary artwork, on the wall of a shed in the garden of the restaurant adjacent to the traditional windmill 'De Graanhalm' ('The Corn Stalk') in Burgh-Haamstede, Zeeland, The Netherlands, is made by Frank van der Meijden and is called 'De Zeeuwse Zonden' ('The Zeeland Sins').

Parts of shop window dummies are painted and are fitted with headgear by this artist (probably in order to avoid that they'll catch a cold, ☺).

It has, in my opinion, some provoking and/or manic traits. Because I know that some people like this form of art while other ones dislike it (a matter of taste), I don't like to deliberate about this form of art. I like to show you only its (manic?) traits.

Because of these traits, it's my entry for Manic Monday.

PS: to prevent that this picture wouldn't be approved, I've blacked out certain parts.

This certainly is unusual subject matter. Well shot, but I'm curious about the "black out" square. Was that part of the sculpture or an editorial addition by you? Very powerful yet strange.

Very unusual Mr. C. and well suited for manic Monday as it sort of looks like a maniac got a hold of those bodies. This type of art is thought provoking but I'm rather a Monet-Van Gogh kind of gal.

Given that it is at a mill restaurant is even more manic for me. Fine photo.

Cornelius - I hope the loss of arms and legs weren't accidents at the mill! A good Manic Monday entry!

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
