THE SEASONS AT THE NASSAU COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART ON VIEW NOVEMBER 16, 2019 – March 1, 2020

Roslyn Harbor, NY - The Seasons explores the creative response of artists to the spirit of the four seasons brought to you by perennial favorite co-curators Franklin Hill Perrell and Debbie Wells of Artful Circle. This exhibition is complete with a full harvest of paintings, sculpture, photography, and design. From traditional landscapes to avant-garde works, The Seasons offers a fanciful experience of every season and an endearing look at holidays through the eyes of artists across the past century.

To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same field, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again. - Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature

As you explore the galleries, see how artists have responded to color, texture, and shapes from nature. Feel the flow of the art depicting one season to the next, just as they do throughout the year. It is a great opportunity for celebrating the joy of the four seasons though a variety of lively depictions in styles. Be sure to record your visit on social media – there are some great spots for taking photos!

Key artists in the exhibition include:

Painters: Marc Chagall, Grandma Moses, Norman Rockwell, Hunt Slonem, Toulouse-Lautrec, Wolf Kahn, David Hockney, Fairfield Porter, Ashley Longshore, Pieter Brueghel the Younger, and more

Photography & Prints: Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Tina Barney and more

Enjoy the fashion component of The Seasons in our loving tribute to Judith Leiber, handbag designer extraordinaire.

Also enter our “Walk-In Closet” upstairs to see an array of colorful Lilly Pulitzer clothes and more in a stylish setting.
