A Contemporary take on Modern Art



While "Enjoying" modern art on the Internet, (and may I add much less stressful than in the classroom) I stumbled across the website of the The Grounds For Sculpture which is an outdoor sculpture museum located in Hamilton, NJ. In any case they have some sculptures that are a different take on some of the art we are currently studying. Here is a sculpture based on Manet's The Luncheon on the Grass. The artist, Seward Johnson, named his sculpture Dejeuner Deja Vu.





Another interesting sculpture is Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party.
Here is a picture of the original painting and then a picture of the sculpture titled Were you invited? by the same artist as above (Seward Johnson).

  1. WOW, these are great! I do enjoy looking at the Art on the internet also. Class is very stressful w/all that we have to learn & not enough time to just sit & take the painting in.
