Every spring the Minneapolis Institute of Art has an exhibition that is called "Art in Bloom," that pairs a painting or sculpture with a florist's interpretation of the art work. The crowds are enormous, but the art work and flowers are worth braving the crowd to see how this season's art work unfolds.Today's photos combine a Matisse painting that is part of the permanent collection with a florist's creative representation. Yesterday on Mother's Day I posted a welcoming floral sculpture at the entrance of the museum.
What a funny idea!
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea to see this sort of display interpreting an actual Matisse. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI think the florist's interpretation is bang on here!

ReplyDeleteI like this one! Do you notice that you can smell flowers in the air the minute you walk in the door? I've noticed that here at our museum.
