12 x 16 inches - Edition 3 of 7 with 2 APs Shot in 2011 in New Orleans and Amsterdam Inspired by Édouard Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe, 1863 Photography and acting are kindred spirits in the new series by e2 (Elizabeth Kleinveld and Epaul Julien).

The artists believe in the power of empathy...

'The Lodge at Vail' centers around the famous model Alessandra Ambrosio standing next to a 1956 Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing. A wolf is sticking its head out the car's door. The Model is wearing a 70s-inspired fur coat and boots and holding a ski set. An ode to the lodge's beginnings is in the background. The Lodge at Vail was the first proper hotel to operate in a resort that arrived at the Colorado ski party exceptionally late. The first stones of Vail were laid in 1962, making it the new kid on the block...
