Paintings by Louis Comfort Tiffany and His Circle February 24, 2010

Although Louis Comfort Tiffany's name is most often associated with his work in the medium of glass, he established himself first as a painter and continued to paint throughout his lifetime. Drawing from works in the Morse collection, this new installation provides a view of Tiffany paintings in the context of artists who he believed in some way shared his commitment to beauty. The exhibit includes works by Tiffany alongside those of contemporaries such as Samuel Colman, Elihu Vedder, Charles Hawthorne and Cecilia Beaux.
