This is the second post on Seward Johnson Sculpture Exhibit at the garden (January 2014). I shared the first part last week, link here.
This one is called Sailing the Seine and is based on the Eduoard Manet painting 'Argenteuil'. You can see that painting at this link.
The style of clothing is very interesting and, in this case, very nautical. I wonder how women coped with all the layers they had to wear on a warm day. The men not so much. The original painting has them on a boat sailing the River Seine.
And look, she's got dangly earrings? A girl after my own heart!
What do you think their conversation might be?
I would love to know your thoughts.
I will leave them here and moved onto the next exhibit (to be shared next Tuesday the 10th).
I hope you have enjoyed this 2nd instalment. It is always fun for me to look back. Florida is a place of wonderful botanical gardens, other places too, and I enjoyed my time there. The birdlife was amazing.
Thanks for visiting,
and may your day be a great one.
They look so real! Their faces are so individualistic! He is looking at her earnestly, but she seems to be ignoring him! She has a bundle of dried flowers...did he give it to her and she is rejecting him? And what is the stick-like thing he is holding?
ReplyDeleteThey are all stunning. Such complex works of art
ReplyDeleteDon't they look wonderful. Hanged if I know how the women wore so many clothes at one time in the heat.
