Brookgreen Gardens New Sculpture Exhibitions Opens!
Murrells Inlet, SC --
Jan 23, 2009 --
Two new sculpture exhibitions will open January 31st in the in-door galleries at Brookgreen Gardens. Entitled Little People: Images of Childhood and 2-D Designs for 3-D Art: Drawings, Paintings, and Prints by Sculptors both exhibits will be open daily from 9:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. and are free with garden admission.
Little People: Images of Childhood will present the endearing, exasperating, and sometimes comical images of children as seen through the eyes of sculptors. Works are by historic and contemporary artists.
2-D Designs for 3-D Art: Drawings, Paintings, and Prints by Sculptors will provide a look at two-dimensional art by three-dimensional artists. Some, such as Donald De Lue, Elliot Offner, Leonda Finke, and Janice Mauro, create drawings or prints of their ideas before sculpting them. Others, including Cecil Howard, Sigmund Abeles and Sandy Scott, are known for their paintings and etchings separate from their work as sculptors. The paintings, drawings, and prints on exhibit are from the Brookgreen collection as well as borrowed from artists and collectors.
Brookgreen Gardens, a National Historic Landmark and non-profit organization, is located on U.S. 17 between Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island, South Carolina, and is open to the public daily. For more information, consult our web site at www.brookgreen.org or call 843-235-6000.
