"Michael Kenna's photographs from the Waldorf kindergarten are a homage to childhood and a paean to the imaginative potential of children's play. He came to know the kindergarten and Monique Grund first as a parent of his daughter, Olivia, then as an artist who saw in the stuff of the place an emblematic presentation of the spirit of childhood.The images are the result of many sessions over several years in the kindergarten."
