Edouard Manet, "Le Dejeuner sur l’herbe," 1863
208 x 264 cm
Friday Happy Hour Picnic with bocce ~ July 15, 5-8
Saturday Afternoon Reception ~ July 16, 1-4
ARTISTS WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE
CKG’s summer group show is inspired by Edouard Manet’s epochal painting “Le Dejeuner sur l’herbe,” or less formally, “Lunch on the Grass.”
This painting challenged many social, political and feminist issues of the time and even though there remains a certain evocative nature to it today, there is no denying that at its core it is a scene of a picnic enjoyed in a garden.
Participating artists have been invited to approach the theme in any manner of their choosing and no doubt this will be an eclectic show.
Join us for our picnic-style reception on July 15 which will include some raucous Bocce for those up for it. Saturday’s reception will include artist talks. Come as you are or come dressed in your best summer garb.
