Imagining the Garden in Art and Literature at the Cleveland Museum of Art

The garden has long been a beloved theme in art and literature: a site for solitary reverie as well as romantic love, a sanctuary from the pressures or urban life as well as a symbol of status and aspiration, a sacred space to meditate on mortality or the meaning of life, and a hideaway for transgression. Join CMA curator of drawings Heather Lemonedes as she discusses the way that artists and writers from the Renaissance to today have celebrated the garden.
