Nassau Co. Museum of Art -Babar's Museum of Art
Greetings ArtConversation Visitors,
Those of you who are familiar with the lovable elephant, Babar, will really enjoy these art parodies featured in an exhibit at Nassau County Museum of Art. You will enjoy this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/18/ny...r=1&ref=design Art Review Letting Babar Lead the Way in Having Fun With Art By AILEEN JACOBSON Published: January 15, 2009 From the article: >>This exchange, from the book "Babar's Museum of Art," by Laurent de Brunhoff, helps explain a few things about an exhibition opening Sunday at the Nassau County Museum of Art in Roslyn Harbor. The show, also called "Babar's Museum of Art," heralds a new mission for the space it occupies, now officially designated for children and families. See the art parody - Babar, family and friends - La Grande Jatte (after Seurat) More parodies to enjoy on the museum site (scroll down): http://www.nassaumuseum.com/currentexhibit.htm John if you see this....What art work is parodied in the second picture? Of course, I know the other three (Van Gogh "Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear", Seurat "Sunday Afternoon on the Grande Jatte", Rousseau "The Dream"). To see more - check out the book (available from Amazon.com) http://www.amazon.com/Babars-Museum-.../dp/0810945975 I love Babar! and I love art Parody. I am ordering a copy for myself (smile). Enjoy, Judy Decker |
