A painting to find?

A description from a painting in some gallery:

The newer, brightly colored tableaux may seem different from the earlier figurative works, but they continue the humor and project it even more. In the "Were You Invited?" tableau, based on Renoir's "Boating Party," Mr. Johnson shows one of Renoir's models seated next to Renoir's friend, painter Gustave Caillebotte.
I can almost hear the sculptor chuckling when he describes his work in the catalog: "I have her shoe kicked off, and she's running her foot up his leg. My humor comes in the third dimension."

A little more explanatory detail <a href="http://www.tfaoi.com/aa/4aa/4aa87.htm">here</a>, but no pictures.

It appears that this a sculpture. The artist Johnson took several famous paintings and brought them into the third dimension by sculpting them. A novel idea indeed.

Do you get the impression that there is a sculpture that includes some footsie?

That seems to be the case, but I cannot find a photo of that particular piece for confirmation.

I admit to being an art ingnoramus so I am not sure what resources to pull to try and find this.

Add this to the "pending" case files.
