Haas's monumental fiberglass sculpture Winter( after Arcimboldo) was unveiled in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. in September, 2010, before traveling in 2011 to the Piazza del Duomo in Milan and the Garden of Versailles.
In 2012, in a spectacular transformation that is typical of his work, Haas created a group of large- scale, fifteen- foot- high, fibre- glass sculptures, inspired by Giuseppe Arcimboldo's Renaissance paintings of the four seasons, comprising Spring, Summer, Autumn, and including Winter.
The colossal size of Haas's sculpture accentuates the visual puzzle of natural forms —flowers, ivy, moss, fungi, vegetables, fruit, trees, bark, branches, twigs, leaves—as they are recycled to form four human portraits, each representing an individual season.
The result is at once earthy, fanciful and exuberant—a commentary on Arcimboldo's style and a work of art in its own right.
These sculptures were first seen in the garden of the Dulwich Picture Gallery in the United Kingdom in the summer of 2012, before embarking on a three- year tour of American museums and botanical gardens.
