Nonresidents are responsible for obtaining their book through their home library.
The Power of Two: Artist Couples of Long Island – Artists often work in close contact with one another as a way to encourage their artistic and creative innovations, forming clubs, schools, and colonies that have produced some of our most groundbreaking art. All of the couples presented in this exhibition were brought together by art, and chose to join their domestic and family life with their creative output and profession. This exhibition features over 50 artworks comparing and contrasting the work produced by 14 artist couples of Long Island, from the Morans in the 1880s through contemporary couples working today.
Foursome: Alfred Stieglitz, Georgia O’Keefe, Paul Strand, Rebecca Salsbury by Carolyn Burke. A portrait of the intense relationship among Alfred Stieglitz, Georgia O’Keeffe, Paul Stand and Rebecca Salsbury explores how their strong personalities, passions and aesthetic ideals shaped their bonds and influenced 20th-century art.
