Another Museum Highlight (4 of 5)
Another Museum Highlight (4 of 5)
Cleveland Museum of Art has just added to their collection of Tiffany pieces. So, while we're on the subject of light and it's effects, let me share some really lovely stained glass work from the studios of Louis Comfort Tiffany.
Love the vibrant colors and the botanical patterns!
Note how the peony petals in the design below break the horizontal lines at the edge in much the same way as the floral arrangements in the museum lobby. (see this link for the post on the arrangements: https://creativelifesampler.blogspot.com/2019/12/mental-preparation-for-trip-to-art.html
For my stained glass artist friends, this lamp shade shows a neat technique. Brass filgree on the inside of the shade, (seen in the image on the right), adds texture and fine detail to the leaves and flower centers.
A Tiffany window greeted the visitor to this gallery.
(I could definitely see this border incorporated in a future quilt.)

So many cool ideas to absorb!
This was the first time I think I've ever gone to an art museum with a purpose in mind. The search for studies in contrast led me to some interesting spots and expanded that concept for me. Seeing how artists working in other mediums deliberately balance contrasting elements in their work was inspiring. It got me wondering how I can apply this approach in my own work.
