Overlapping Art Forms

One of my favorite exhibits for many years has been "Bouquets to Art". Floral Designers take inspiration from paintings and sculptures to produce their interpretations. The show lasts only a few days as living flowers have limits. The displays can be literal, whimsical, metaphorical, or judgmental. There was an Epiphany, Mother and Child rendered with rose thorns in which I found symbolic commentary. Some flowers follow form and others represent texture or color.
The lilacs, lillies, roses and other flowers in the arrangements perfumed the whole museum.
The exhibition has moved to The DeYoung Museum in San Francisco. I am delighted to have discovered how much I like the (relatively) new space.
Well done florists, artists, sculptors and architects.
Today was well worth the trip.
