Art in Bloom #2


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.

  4. I 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.
