America’s Gilded Age of the late 1800s: a tale for today

For his special birthday during Thanksgiving weekend, Bob chose to visit Nassau County Museum of Art’s new exhibit ‘Our Gilded Age.’ which runs through March 10, 2024.

As I showed my member card in the lobby, the staffer told us tours recently began and pointed to the room where we could join one. What lucky timing!

The Nassau County Museum of Art is located on the former Frick ‘Clayton’ estate in the heart of Long Island’s Gold Coast, making ‘Our Gilded Age’ exhibit a natural.

During the tour, our engaging docent JOAN QUATRANO explained the history of the Clayton estate. 

In 1913 Henry Clay Frick, co-founder of U.S. Steel, was going to give his son Childs and new daughter-in-law Frances Dixon an expensive bauble as a marriage present. When Francis said she’d prefer a mansion, Frick gave them the Clayton estate.

“The Gilded Age robber barons – the Goulds, the Vanderbilts, the Morgans and Rockefellers – did quite well under laissez-faire. Most of the rest of Americans were still stuck in the ditch, with little to no economic security….” – Ben Fountain (b. 1958) Chapel Hill, NC

Modigliani and I go way way back, so I visited the Nassau County Museum of Art’s exhibit “Modigliani and the Modern Portrait” with Bob during its opening weekend.

like Modigliani

When we were quite young, my brothers and I enjoyed going to summer programs at Park Avenue School. In crafts, we made more lanyards, loop belts and woven straw baskets than necessary, and when Lou and John headed to sports, I headed to art classes. 

Not long ago, an oil painting I created during one of those classes surfaced in my basement. The closeup portrait, on coated heavy paper, shows a woman in profile, from her shoulders to her long curved neck to her head with blond hair swept up high.

Seeing that portrait, I vividly remembered how excited my mom was over a half century ago when she told me the art teacher said it was like a Modigliani painting. 

Ten-year-old me barely had time to wonder “Modigliani?” before Mom explained he’s an artist famous for portraits with exaggerated long necks. And soon after I checked our family’s Encyclopedia Britannica to learn more about his work.

More than once during my school years, I heard Mom telling others about the time an art teacher compared my work to Modigliani’s.

Then I’d smile, with fond thoughts of Modigliani, and loving thoughts of Mom.

During my visit to the Modigliani exhibit, I noticed a large empty gilt frame on display outside the Arnold & Joan Saltzman Fine Art Building.

A woman standing in front of the frame was taking photos of her husband posing behind it. Bob and I went over, and I ended up taking photos of them, and they took some of us.

You can see these fun, very modern portraits at start and end of this post, and in my photo gallery.
