I must respectfully disagree, Ann. I think that Seward Johnson's sculptures based on great art and great photography are effective and compelling. They are all done with a bit of tongue in cheek and humor, and should be viewed that way. The often bring the originals to life in a different fashion, with an immediacy that can not be achieved in two dimensions. I particularly enjoy his sculptures of familiar French Impressionist works displayed in the woods and along the ponds and the lake at Grounds for Sculpture. One can really immerse oneself in the scenes.
