MORSE VIGNETTE

The Now and Then Room

August 19, 2010 through September 4, 2011

This new vignette, adapted from a 1974 original that Jeannette Genius McKean (1909–89) installed at The Center Street Gallery in Winter Park, is planned around a mid-19th century iron bed. This romantic room will also include a lithograph by Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939), paintings by both Jeannette and Hugh F. McKean (1908–95), a floral textile by Ava Maxwell, and a pair of Tiffany blown-glass candle lamps, c. 1905, that were a wedding gift to Jeannette’s mother, Elizabeth Morse Genius (1872–1928).
