Nassau County Museum

On this pristine day, the last day of April, drank in the beauty of this Park, and the exceptional Museum attraction.

Let’s start with the outdoor sculpture park.

Unsure of sculptures, but enjoy.
My favorite
An odd one, an oxymoron?

There also is a studio where classes are held. Wish I lived closer, they have great offerings…

Now I’m off to the real reason for the visit, The Art Deco exhibit.

This was a remarkable exhibition, well done, and kudos to the Museum.

Art Deco is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The movement actually began in Europe, but quickly caught abroad. It began after the then pandemic, and World War I.

But actually…

The Flapper Era
Note in the background Louis Comfort Tiffany’s lamp, and his son’s picture of Gaza.
An Art Deco Cabinet between flappers.
Note 🎵 the beauty of the room. This mansion was the home of Henry Frick’s son, Charles.
Another beautiful piece of this room, hand carved 🚪.
The staircase, sadly once again, house tours only weekends.

Back to the exhibit..

More flappers
Guys were also in this era, of note Clark Gable.
Then there are the buildings coast to coast over 200 of them, and my favorite Radio City Music Hall.
Some artwork indicative of the era.

Also at the Museum was an extensive collection of young Tiffany, (son of Tiffany), art. Here are some, and they are truly lovely in oils, and watercolors.

Charles was a traveler.

Then there is dad’s art work. Tiffany lived on Long Island so understandably his works were grabbed up by the wealthy Gold Coast folks.

His Lamp

His Vase

And they even managed to have a Picasso and Chagall here.

Go if you can, take time to walk the grounds, and as always, Enjoy!
