Last week’s mystery, “Spring scene,” showed a gate at Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet.
Congratulations to those who identified the statue, including George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Jacie Godfrey of Florence; Elizabeth Jones and Jay Altman, both of Columbia; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Lawrence Moore of Folly Beach; Pat Keadle of Wagener; and Ross Lenhart of Stone Mountain, Ga.
Graf shared, “The statue in the center of the photo is Karl Heinrich Gruppe’s 1925 Tennessee Marble ‘Joy’ sculpture. Gruppe (1893 – 1982), was the son of an American artist who painted scenes of Holland, and who spent his youth near The Hague. After the family returned to New York City, he worked in the studio of Herbert Adams and studied at the Art Students’ League. An early version of Joy was awarded the Barnett Prize of the National Academy of Design in 1926. “
