Lohrbach installation
Max Lohrbach moved back to his Mantorville, Minn., homestead last year after receiving a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council and the Mantorville Art Guild. With it, he created an installed illustration that combines his two talents: fashion design and painting. The life-sized display depicts a Victorian-era seated group, posed as if getting a portrait taken. The gorgeous paintings and clothing should be worth the drive.
