Imitation is the Highest Form of Flattery
You might have seen that imitating beloved art—with what you can find around the house—is all the rage during this time of sheltering in place. The Springfield Museums invite you to follow suit and share the results using: #AtTheMuseums!
Meantime, here are some examples from our staff:
Laura Cienciwa, Art & History Docent Program Coordinator, interprets Studio Tea, 1888, by Julian Alden Weir (American, 1852 – 1919) on display in the Michele and Donald D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts.
Kris Ludwig, Manager of Exhibition Services for the Springfield Museums, with the help of Jane, interprets Portrait of Marcel Duchamp, c. 1925 by Florine Stettheimer (American, 1871-1944) in the collection of the Michele and Donald D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts.
Kris and Jane also interpreted Madonna and Child, 16th century by Giovanni Antonio Licinio da Pordenone, on display in the Michele and Donald D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts.
Ross Moller, Spark!Lab Educator, interpreted the plaster cast Laocoön Group, after Agesander, Athanadoros and Polydoros of Rhodes (Greek, active 2nd century B.C.E.) which is displayed in the George Walter Vincent Smith Art Museum.
Sarah Gogal, Springfield Museums Exhibitions Preparator, re-considered the T. rex in the Springfield Science Museum, Dinosaur Hall.
