Celebrate four seasons in one during the Atlanta Botanical Garden's exhibition of monumental sculptures by contemporary artist Philip Haas from May through October.
Philip Haas: The Four Seasons features four gigantic busts, towering at more than 15 feet, each as whimsical embodiments of winter, spring, summer, and autumn. The three-dimensional sculptures, made of painted fiberglass, include oversized twigs, fruits, vegetables, leaves, and other natural elements indicative of their season of origin. Visitors will enjoy exploring the intricate details of these compositions lining the Great Lawn while marveling at the creative and surprising juxtaposition of recognizable plants employed in unexpected relationships. "Haas' imaginative sculptures are beautifully detailed and celebrate the human form and treasures of the plant world in a way I've never seen before," Garden President and CEO Mary Pat Matheson said of the artist, screenwriter and filmmaker known for his Academy Award-nominated 1995 film Angels and Insects. "We are honored to have his work grace our Garden and to, once again, introduce Atlanta to one of America's most fascinating artists."Videos
