Photos courtesy of The Bosotn Museum of Fine Arts The sculpture is by the French artist Jean-Auguste Barre. It depicts the 15th-century Valois princess Mary of Burgundy out hawking. She is mesmerized by the bird and unaware that her rearing horse has been spooked and is about to throw her to her death. Photo courtesy of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The Martha's Vineyard Garden Club will again participate in Art in Bloom, a festival of flowers at the Boston Museum of Fine Art (MFA), April 30 through May 3. The annual springtime tradition, always a well-attended fundraiser for the MFA, showcases flower arranging as an art form. Each of 70 New England garden clubs will interpret a different work in the MFA collection with a floral arrangement of complementary shape, colors, motion, or style. Once the MFA has chosen the works to be used, participating garden clubs are matched by a random drawing. Garden club past-presidents Judith Bryant and Nancy Cabot, sisters from West Tisbury, along with cousin Susan Boass of West Tisbury and Hopkinton, will design and execute an arrangement to complement the challenge they have been assigned, a dramatic sculpture depicting a rearing horse about to throw its rider to her death. All three have participated in Art in Bloom in earlier years. The four-day festival also includes lectures, floral demonstrations, guided tours, an afternoon tea, and activities for children. Tickets are available at the MFA web site, www.mfa.org.
