Have been putting off seeing this exhibit at MMA.
It was beautiful. It was about a man’s search for his great great grandfather. No one could tell him what happened to him.
It turned out he had spent the final 4 decades of his life at the state insane asylum and Whitfield once it was built.
The artist painted scenes from his life on small canvases ( 14” or so ) and then assembled them to make this panorama.
I think it is so amazing how painters can create an image that looks so real with just a few brush strokes. These images are based on real photos from his family.
Enjoyed it very much. It ends with the entrance to Rose Hill cemetery at Whitfield.
Amazing. You know we have a connection to Whitfield, I remember going there to visit an Aunt, my Mother' sister. It always upset me. MOM
