Hidden behind the stone facade of the unassuming Union Church of Pocantico Hills lies a remarkable treasure of stained glass. Under the guidance of Nelson A.

The first was created by Henri Matisse in 1954; the design for the window proved to be his final work of art. The next nine were contributed by Marc Chagall, who worked with the Rockefellers to choose biblical subjects for the windows.

CULTURE: THE NORTON SIMON MUSEUM
Norton Simon Museum
How our Public Environment Displays our Culture
From its gardens to the design of the museum, the Norton Museum is a reflection of the rich talent in California. Its design and external appearance is credited to the work of local contemporary artists as well as local architects and designers. The garden is a reflection of the great thought taken in the selection of vegetation as well as the landscaping of the paths, the cafeteria and paths for taking walks. With a variety of greenery from ferns to trees to different types of bushes, the garden creates a modern version of the outdoors; allowing revelers to enjoy the shade that the tree over as well as the serene atmosphere created.
One of the most alluring sights is the sculpture garden that borders the pond. Unique sculptures are placed in different parts of the garden. They help to create an atmosphere that reflects creativity and true tranquility. The sculpture garden is truly an oasis resplendent of human emotion and expression.
This museum is a work of art in itself. Designed by local architects under the instructions of Walter Hopps, the museum was designed in 1962. Hopps was the curator at the time. The modern curvilinear façade glazed in tiles of varying brown hues was made by Edith Heath. She was known for her work as a ceramic artisan. The museum is a representation of the talent of locals as well as an avenue for opening up the local community to the world of art on an international scale. Sadly, Hopps resigned before the completion of the museum.
The Museum
A museum is an avenue of expression not just for the artist but for the locale. It represents a heritage and a history of an area while at the same time illuminating talent for the benefit of those that love it and those that live it. Without it, there would be a vacuum. However, its survival is hinged on its ability to make revenue. As such, its displays of art must help it meet this need and not just that of the artist to have their work seen.
The Norton Simon Museum is an art museum. Located in Pasadena California, it is one of the recommended tourist attractions for any art lover. The museum has a wide collection of more than eleven thousand pieces. Its collections include European paintings, Asian sculptures, sculpture gardens, woodblock prints and tapestries. The museum has a distinctive brown tile exterior that attracts a passerby’s attention.
The museum has been in existence since 1953. However, back then, it was known as the Pasadena Art Institute. Named after its locality, it later became the Pasadena Art Museum after receiving over 400 German Expressionist pieces from a collector. At the time, the museum was the only one that had progressive art exhibits. This helped it gain popularity among art lovers in the area since the other modern art museums were in San Francisco and La Jolla at the time.
Norton Simon came into the picture in 1970. He needed a pl.

“Life is a pure flame and we live by an invisible sun within us.” Sir Thomas Browne
Ever since I can remember, I have given importance to two things in my life: internal seeking and art. My works of art are concrete and essential approximations of my own inner and outer experiences. They are simple; they reflect me. I have based my work on the flower of life and Metatron’s Cube.
Geometric Abstraction allows me to convey deeper thoughts to my audience as a divine human gift. My art is a strong response to the chaotic world around us. Exploring the elements of geometric shapes, light, and color in the combination, I try to bring about harmony, unity, and balance. I would like to reduce my artistic vocabulary to dots, lines, and shades of white. My biggest challenge is to simplify my art expression.

Art Basel Miami’s comprehensive web-
site—which released the official exhibitor
list in September—offers a tome-length
list of what to see, do, and visit during the
December 4th-7th art extravaganza. But
with so many options it seems impossi-
ble not to miss something with only three
days to try and, “do it all.”
As a veteran Basel-goer and fine art en-
thusiast, I decided to flex my curatorial
muscle and create an ABMB 2014 dossier
exclusively for “Lifestyle” The Palm Beach
International Magazine, with some unex-
pected masterpieces you might not find

If you’re looking for a break
from the crowds and canvas-

different, here are a few ideas:

Lincoln Road, Miami Beach,
FL 33139) Each year on Fri-
day, Zurich film connoisseur
This Brunner selects a feature
length film for a special screen-
ing at the Colony Theatre. Al-
though this years film has not
been announced, last year the
theatre hosted the U.S. pre-
miere of “Nan Goldin—I Re-
member Your Face,” followed
by a Q&A with the artist and
film director. The movie is free
to watch, but get there early be-
cause seating is limited.
Morimoto South Beach (801 Col-
lins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139
www.shelborne.com) Just open
as of October 1st, world renowned chef Ma-
saharu Morimoto is now curating his own
culinary masterpieces at the newly reno-
vated Shelborne Wyndham South Beach.
With a sushi bar running through the en-
tire restaurant to showcase Morimoto’s
specialty, this promises to be some of the
best edible artistry in Miami.
Art Parties No matter what time of year it
is in Miami, the party doesn’t stop when
the sun goes down. Many of the swanky
and stylish resorts like the Delano and
Fountain Bleu host VIP parties where
those in the know can rub shoulders with
artists, collectors and cura-
tors while the champagne
flows freely. These parties
have histories involving
all-star ping pong tourna-
ments hosted by Susan Sa-
randon, and unconfirmed
whispers of late night skin-
ny dipping—they have al-
most as big a reputation as
the fair itself.
Havana Harry’s (4612 Le
Jeune Rd, Coral Gables, FL

of the scene all together and
experience a part of Miami
that isn’t predicated on the

influx, head out to Coral

and most innovative Cuban
food South Florida has to
offer. The Zagat-approved

will let you unwind after
hours of schmoozing. Fin-
ish it off with an authentic

buzzed enough to get back

ing a beat.
