The artist's legacy Giuseppe Arcimboldo, a representative of Mannerism, the great Italian master who died at the end of the 16th century, still lives today. People who understand painting probably remember a series of amazing paintings by Archimboldo, in which he portrayed the seasons with amazing characters, as if woven from seasonal vegetables, fruits and berries, well, dressed for the weather. To remind of this creative feat of the great artist, as well as to make his own with his help, was encouraged by the modern American director and artist Philip Haas … His installation The four seasons, in fact, four huge sculptures, was presented to the audience at the London Museum of Fine Arts - Dulwich Art Gallery. Three-meter and three-dimensional, the paintings of Archimboldo towered over the meadow of the museum park like a kind of glass fiber colossus, shocking the audience with their unusual appearance. After all, if the artist has all the pumpkins and apples, bananas and grapes, plums, cherries and even mushrooms painted, then Philip Haas recreated them realistic and very appetizing. From these figures and figures, he made collages-sculptures called Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn, as the seasons should be called. And who is who, will tell you the composition of the sculptures of the talented author.
Surely even children will recognize Winter in a character consisting of dry bark, twigs, twigs, moss, tree mushrooms, as well as lemons, tangerines and oranges that are unchanged for this season. Spring is easy to identify by its blooming, in the literal sense of the word, appearance. Summer is due to the abundance of berries and fruits. And Autumn - on spikelets of wheat, grapes, nuts and watermelon fat-bellied.
The Four Seasons exhibition was shown at the open-air museum in September 2012. You can see all this with your own eyes on the website of the London Dulwich Picture Gallery.

Having studied the technique of creating relief sculptures, the artist willingly applies it in her own work, as can be seen by looking at the works from the Food topographic sculp series
