The Buzz -- Known for its brightly colored buildings and art deco architecture, Miami has been a leader in the international design community for decades. The Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art will celebrate Miami’s contributions to American modernism with the opening of "Promises of Paradise: Staging Mid-Century Miami," a groundbreaking exhibition devoted to the architects, designers and urban planners of mid-20th-century Miami. "Promises of Paradise" showcases the architectural designs, furniture, textiles and decorative arts of some of South Florida’s most talented and innovative designers, such as Alfred Browning Parker, Morris Lapidus, George Farkas, Frederick Rank, Ken Treister and Kay Pancoast. The works included illustrate the mid-century experience and the collective vision of artists who shaped the indoor-outdoor lifestyle for which Florida is known today. Visitors can browse through the thematic sections of the exhibition, which are the promise of a great escape, a great city and a great home. |
