The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art

One of the last days I was with Kevin, we visited the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art. The reason we wanted to go there is that this museum has one of the biggest and unique collections of the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany.

Louis Comfort Tiffany was one of the most creative and prolific designers of the late 19th century, declared that his life-long goal was "the pursuit of beauty." He created beautiful artworks made out of glass.

Tiffany's aesthetic was based on his conviction that nature should be the primary source of design inspiration. Intoxicated by color, he translated into glass the lush palette found in flowers and plants. This fascination with nature and with extending the capabilities of the medium led to the exploration of another technique-in 1893 Tiffany introduced his first blown-glass vases and bowls, called "Favrile," whose name, he declared, was taken from an old English word for hand made.

Louis Comfort Tiffany's most impressive achievements were interiors - notably those of his own houses in New York City and a little chapel he made for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. That chapel, not seen by the general public for more than a century, has been under conservation for two years and is now reassembled at the Morse Museum of American Art. The picture doesn't really show its beauty- but it was marvelous! No words to describe it, just a bad picture to give u the idea:)
