Louis Tiffany Art Exhibit at Rosecliff Mansion
Rosecliff Mansion in Newport is set to host an exhibit featuring class artwork and objects designed by Louis C. Tiffany.
As a painter, Tiffany (1848-1933) was captivated by the interplay of light and color, and this fascination found its most spectacular expression in his glass “paintings.”
Through the medium of opalescent glass, Tiffany manipulated light and color to achieve impressionistic effects using innovative techniques and materials.
His Tiffany Studios created leaded-glass windows and lampshades in vibrant colors and richly varied patterns, textures and opacities.
The exhibit opens at 4 p.m.
