ALICE COONEY FRELINGHUYSEN: I am Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen, Curator of American Decorative Arts. What we're looking at here are four leaded-glass panels what were designed by the important prairie school architect, John Scott Bradstreet. Bradstreet primarily worked in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and that is the location of the house from which these windows have come. One of the hallmarks of American arts and crafts windows is a plethora of transparent colorless glass. The window was seen to not be a barrier to the outside, but actually bring the outside into the interior. Here you see grapes and grape leaves and grape vines, but they're displayed in a highly architectural, rigid geometry, unlike for example, the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany, whose grapevine windows are also seen in the Courtyard. Each leaf really fits within a square. The clusters of grapes fit within a triangle, and it all creates a marvelously rhythmic design. And then these marvelous agitated grape vines that extend on either side, and end at the bottom in a highly geometricized root ball, essentially, very much characteristic of Bradstreet's work. Bradstreet was an important designer of the arts and crafts era, and like many of his contemporaries, he was an architect who designed and worked in many media. He was not only an architect, but an interior designer, and essentially put together fully integrated interiors.
