PICNIC

d’après Edouard Manet, Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe

2013, oil on canvas, Private Collection Kuala Lumpur Singapore (exhibited 2014)

PICNIC by Andre von Morisse is a humorous take on the famous painting by French artist Edouard Manet, "Le Dejeuner sur L'Herbe", on view in the permanent collection of Musée d'Orsay in Paris. Here, von Morisse explores art history with a sense of humor. The painting was reviewed by the New York Times T magazine in 2014. It is now in an important Private Collection in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.

 "ART 3 (Silas von Morisse Gallery) showcases standouts like “Picnic,” a painting by Andre Von Morisse that reimagines Edouard Manet’s iconic “Le Déjeuner sur l’Herbe” as a scene involving characters from the Popeye cartoons."
