TOPIARY
GARDEN
The Topiary Garden, begun in
1989 by the Columbus Recreation
and Parks Department, is a
recreation in sculpted shrubbery
(topiary) of French artist Georges
Seurat's famous painting,
Sunday Afternoon On The Ile De
La Grande Jatte" (1884-6). To
see the front of the 'painting', go
to the top of the easternmost hill,
and stand near the small black
marker set into the path. There,
too, you will find a bronze
replica of the painting for
comparison. The topiary project
was conceived, designed and
executed by Columbus sculptor
James T. Mason.
