Visit The New York Botanical Garden between May 18 and October 27, 2013 and you're in for quite the treat. Internationally-renowned American contemporary artist Philip Haas has created four huge, 15-foot-tall portrait sculptures that each represent the different seasons.
Haas references classical Italian Renaissance portraiture, specifically the works of Renaissance master Giuseppe Arcimboldo, while putting a new twist on his classical forms by blowing up their scale and changing the medium.
