A picture is worth a thousand words in this instance. See for yourself and see why I am so looking forward to the “Seward Johnson: The Retrospective”, featuring more than 287 of works at the Grounds for Sculpture in Trenton, Jersey, which runs through September 21st, 2014. Here is a sampling of the permanent collection from a recent visit.
Our version of Munch’s “The Scream”
Lunch with my new friends in Renoir’s “Boating Party”
More food in Edouard Manet’s Le Dejeuner sur l’herbe.
Jay waiving from Monet’s “Garden at Sainte-Addresse” – the scale of which is mind-boggling.
Finally, a suitcase my husband can’t lift in Grant Wood’s “American Gothic”
With even more Johnson sculptures than ever before in three new indoor shows, this is going to be a spectacular day! The art historian in me gets a big kick out of seeing his re-interpretation of so many iconic images – an experience I that I highly recommend to all of you.
This will be a show with something for everyone. Savor every minute of it!
