Madness in Vegetables: Hudson Valley Artists 2019
I am dreaming of the trees that devote themselves to an unending search for aerial balance...Such is the life of a fig tree, like a poet鈥檚: the search for light and the difficulty of remaining in it. There are apple trees that prefer the beauty of their fruit to the maintenance of their balance and so they break. They are mad. - Francis Jammes, Pens茅es des Jardins (Paris, 1906)
The title of the exhibition, Madness in Vegetables, cites the playful title of a poem by Francis Jammes, a French writer born in 1868 who is best known for his turn from the fashionable 19th c. Symbolist movement, instead drawing inspiration from the natural world and a rustic life far from the decadent center of Parisian literary circles.
