Statues in the Carmel Arts District
Posted by searchcarmelhomes under For Buyers, For Sellers, General Information, Hot Spots
Have you ever wondered who is responsible for those real life statues at work and
play in the Carmel Arts District?
John Seward Johnson II (aka J. Seward Johnson Jr) is the artist that created these lifelike statues.
He is the grandson of Robert Wood Johnson (co-founder of Johnson & Johnson) and first cousin of actor Michael Douglas. J. Seward actually worked for Johnson & Johnson until he was fired in 1962.
These statues mimic the daily happenings of life; from shopping to water plants to playing with kids and also includes the infamous Unconditional Surrender pose of the sailor kissing the young nurse in pure joy that WWII was officially over!
There are probably a dozen that can be found as you are walking through the Carmel Arts District; you can see a man reading the newspaper, a women carrying groceries, a policemann directing traffic, parents playing with their kids and more.
There are some great neighborhoods in Carmel that are within walking distance of the Arts District including Monon and Main, Arden Townhomes and the Commons at City Center. There is also a cottage type home development that will be built soon as well.
