'Bouquets'of art
BY PREETI MALANI
PICASSO and pansies? Rodin and roses? Monet and mums? Calder and
calla lilies? Now you can enjoy the natural beauty of spring in Ann Arbor
with Bouquets to Art, a special exhibit at the University's Museum of Art.
Sponsored by the Friends of the Museum, Bouquets to Art challenges
30 area floral designers to interpret a masterpiece from the museum's gal-
leries. Similar programs have been organized at the Detroit Institute of
Arts and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, but Bouquets to Art is the first
event of this kind in the Ann Arbor area. The floral designs include inter-
pretations of Tiffany glass, African masks, Chinese fans, and contemporary
sculpture, along with designs related to many of the Museum's famous
paintings.
The opening of this free exhibit is highlighted by two days of special
events this weekend which will benefit the Museum's acquisition and pro-
gramming funds. The program on Friday, May 13th includes the slide pre-
spntation, "Monet's Gardens" at 1 p.m. presented by writer/photographer
Nancy Good. Her photographic study of the gardens at Giverny shows the
evolution of Monet's garden paintings. The afternoon celebration con-
cludes with "Tea For More Than Two," a traditional afternoon tea served in
the Museum's apse.
Saturday focuses on the artistic beauty of nature with a lecture at 10
a.m. by Ken Druse, Contributing Garden Editor to House Beautiful maga-
zine. He will discuss restoration of gardens and new trends in American
landscape. The "Blossom Luncheon" at 12:30 p.m. features a introduction
to the exhibit's floral interpretations by Hilarie Faberman, Curator of
Western Art at the Museum, titled "Friendships' Offerings: From Seed to
Exotic Flower."
Many individuals and organizations have made Bouquets to Art possi-
ble. Local flower designers include Alfa Colley, Jane Dye, Ethel Menden-
hall, Glenda Perry, Chris Rochman, and Elinore Yard of the Ann Arbor
Garden Club; Bruce Baker and Jerry Meislik of the Bonsai Society; and
Ann Morrison of Nielsen's Flower Shop.
BOUQUETS TO ART is this Friday and Saturday, May 13 and 14. For
tickets contact the UMMA Friends Office. Tickets are $15 for all day Fri-
day and $10 for either the lecture and Museum tour or the Blossom Lun-
cheon on Saturday. The exhibit is free.

the Empire State Building. You must
be getting off. I'm starting to feel a
little trippy myself, frankly."
Maybe Kunstler was trying to re-
late the inane way that people com-
municate while tripping - maybe.
But, whatever the case, the reader
soon loses respect for Andy and
doesn't really care what happens to
him. Sure, he's coming of age and
has the right to make some mistakes.
with 14-year old Franny (Tim's sis-
ter), Andy is relieved in a way: "He'd
felt that what they were doing to-
gether was wrong and that being cut
off from her now was somehow
logical and inevitable." Andy has
learned a lesson in morals, but it's
too bad he never let Franny in on his
revelation.
By the end of the novel, Andy re-
solves his dilemmas and happily
comes of age. But by that point it's
too late to help Thunder Island. Save
your money and buy some Beatles.
