Franklin Hill Perrell Presents a Talk at Nassau County Museum of Art
Franklin Hill Perrell, executive director of the Roslyn Landmark Society and past curator of Nassau County Museum of Art, returns to the museum to present Tiffany: Tastemaker of the Gilded Age, a talk on Louis Comfort Tiffany whose paintings are on view in a major exhibition at the museum. The talk is on Saturday, January 7 at 3 p.m. Admission is $15 (members, $5) and includes admission to the museum.
Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) created light-filled works suffused with Orientalism and employing sensuous Art Nouveau lines. His paintings and decorative arts contrasted sharply with the era’s prevailing dark Victorian décor and had a powerful influence on the evolving aesthetics of the wealthy and famous of the Gilded Age. Tiffany’s influence on decorative and fine arts was previously explored at the museum in Tiffany and the Gilded Age, an exhibition curated by Perrell.
For reservations to Perrell’s talk, Tiffany: Tastemaker of the Gilded Age, at Nassau County Museum of Art on Saturday, January 7 at 3 p.m., log onto nassaumuseum.org/events.
