The Arts window, a
neoclassical masterpiece by J. & R. Lamb Studios, makes its debut at the
Morse Museum of American Art, in Winter Park, Florida, as the centerpiece of a major new exhibition of 19th-century windows. Opening at the Morse on Tuesday, October 21. Revival & Reform—Eclecticism in the
19th-Century Environment provides a rare look at the diversity
of the decorative arts in the latter 19th century and very early 20th century
Organized
from objects in the Morse Museum’s collection, the show features more than 20
additional leaded-glass panels and windows and selections of art glass,
pottery, and furniture. Beginning October 29, the Museum will also offer free
gallery talks in the exhibition Wednesdays at 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Besides
works by Lamb Studios, the windows on view—some avant-garde, others reviving
styles of the past—include examples by Tiffany Studios, John LaFarge, Frank
Lloyd Wright, and others.
