Philip Haas Has Created ‘The Four Seasons’ Installation Inspired By Strange Renaissance Portraits

‘The Four Seasons’ By Philip Haas, an American artist, screenwriter and filmmaker has recently been installed at Dulwich Picture Gallery in London. The four 15 foot high fiberglass sculptures are based on the work of Renaissance painter Guiseppe Arcimboldo’s portraits – a series in which fruit, vegetables and plants combined to form a human portrait.

The paintings are odd enough. The sculptures just really weird. Haas has said that he was uncertain whether the sculptures should “climb back inside the museum…or flee!”

The Four Seasons installation will be displayed at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, London until 16th September.
