Some Areas of the Garden Looked Like Seas of Flowers - Brookgreen Gardens, Murrells Inlet, SC 3-25-11

Pas de Trois, John Cavanaugh (1921-1985), Bronze - Brookgreen Gardens, Murrells Inlet, SC 3-25-11
Cavanaugh was a pioneer in the method of hammering and forming sculpture designs from sheets of lead. He felt this medium allowed him to present graceful motion, particularly dance movement, in sculpture. Pas de Trois, depicting three ballerinas with hands joined above their heads, was originally done in 1983 in hammered lead. President Bill Clinton presented a small version of this sculpture to President Jacques Chirac of France at the ceremony for the signing of the Dayton Peace Accord in 1995.

Wood Nymphs, Henry Hering (1874-1949), Aluminum, 1932 - Brookgreen Gardens, Murrells Inlet, SC 3-25-11
Hering worked for sculptor Philip Martiny, then studied with Augustus Saint-Gaudens, eventually becoming his assistant. He completed several of the coin design commissions given to Saint-Gaudens, perfecting his skill in the art of low relief. He was married to sculptor Elsie Ward, another assistant of Saint-Gaudens. There is a pair of Wood Nymphs with one planted at each end of the planted bed.
