The Norton Museum Exhibition
George
Segal: Street Scenes
Norton
Museum of Art / George
Segal is considered one of the most important and influential
American artists of the twentieth century. He started his signature
life-size sculptures in the early 1960; using friends and families
as models, he draped bandages soaked in plaster over their bodies
and let the bandages dry in place. Working on one section at
a time, he removed the hardened life-like shapes and later reassembled
the pieces with found objects to create contemplative tableaux
documenting the quiet introspective moments in life. George
Segal: Street Scenes is the first exhibition to focus on the
sculptor’s exploration of the urban environment, who was
born and raised in New York City. His interaction with the city
and his ability to quietly observe and capture the urban sphere
were central to his sculpture. Street Scenes portrays men and
women, sitting, walking and talking in proximity to cinema marquees,
parking garages, diners and buses. With the city as his muse,
these full-scale recreations address often-overlooked, yet poignant
encounters. For more information, please call 561. 832.5196.

A Spirit of Simplicity: American
Arts and Crafts
The
Flagler
Museum announces the
forthcoming exhibition A Spirit of Simplicity: American
Arts and Crafts from the Two Red Roses Foundation. The
objects in this exhibition will be on loan from the Two Red
Roses Foundation of Palm Harbor, Florida. A Spirit of Simplicity
will feature nearly 150 objects illustrating the range of American
Arts and Crafts style, including furniture, wood block prints,
stained glass, decorative tiles, pottery, and metalwork. Because
of the variety of objects in any price range, Arts and Crafts
style was widely available and extremely popular. American Arts
and Crafts practitioners created not only beautiful objects
but also sought to promote a healthy and morally uplifting lifestyle.
Craftsmen creating such goods took pride in their work, avoiding
what they saw as unfulfilling lives as drones in mechanized
factories. The well-designed and well-made objects included
in this exhibition exemplify the goals of the Arts and Crafts
movement in America. The exhibition is free with Flagler Museum
admission. The Museum is open from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.,
Tuesday through Saturday, and noon until 5:00 p.m., Sunday.
Admission is $15 for adults, $8 for youth ages 13-18, $3 for

The Norton Museum Opens Major
Exhibition George
Segal: Street Scenes
Norton
Museum of Art / George
Segal is considered one of the most important and influential
American artists of the twentieth century. He started his signature
life-size sculptures in the early 1960; using friends and families
as models, he draped bandages soaked in plaster over their bodies
and let the bandages dry in place. Working on one section at
a time, he removed the hardened life-like shapes and later reassembled
the pieces with found objects to create contemplative tableaux
documenting the quiet introspective moments in life. George
Segal: Street Scenes is the first exhibition to focus on the
sculptor’s exploration of the urban environment, who was
born and raised in New York City. His interaction with the city
and his ability to quietly observe and capture the urban sphere
were central to his sculpture. Street Scenes portrays men and
women, sitting, walking and talking in proximity to cinema marquees,
parking garages, diners and buses. With the city as his muse,
these full-scale recreations address often-overlooked, yet poignant
encounters. For more information, please call 561. 832.5196.

style was widely available and extremely popular. American Arts
and Crafts practitioners created not only beautiful objects
but also sought to promote a healthy and morally uplifting lifestyle.
Craftsmen creating such goods took pride in their work, avoiding
what they saw as unfulfilling lives as drones in mechanized
factories. The well-designed and well-made objects included
in this exhibition exemplify the goals of the Arts and Crafts
movement in America. The exhibition is free with Flagler Museum
admission. The Museum is open from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.,
Tuesday through Saturday, and noon until 5:00 p.m., Sunday.
Admission is $15 for adults, $8 for youth ages 13-18, $3 for
children ages 6-12, and children under six are free. For more
