Wedded Bliss
Filed under Uncategorized by donna roberson at 5:17 pm
If you’re looking for something to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon, head down to the Peabody-Essex Museum in Salem, Mass., and renew you’re ability to look at weddings through rose-tinted spectacles.
"Wedded Bliss The Marriage of Art and Ceremony" is running through Sept. 14 and looks at how our ideas of matrimony have shaped art for the past three ceremonies. There are 130 objects — including a Picasso — and you’ll see paintings alongside jewelery and historical gowns.
The exhibit crosses borders too, with art from the U.S., Asia, Africa and Europe. You can also check out a slideshow.
Here’s "Bride with Fan" by Mark Chagall
