Join us to learn about a multitalented artist working in Deerfield, Massachusetts, at the turn of the 20th century: Madeline Yale Wynne.
In 1903, Wynne constructed an oak bride’s chest known as Garden of Hearts for its landscape of three inverted heart-shaped trees along a winding river. A tour-de-force of Arts and Crafts design, the chest showcases Wynne’s talents as a painter, metalsmith, and woodworker. Garden of Hearts was Wynne’s greatest artistic accomplishment, considered “perhaps better than anything she had done.”
During this virtual event, Daniel Sousa of Historic Deerfield will speak about the history and recent rediscovery of Wynne’s Garden of Hearts masterpiece, as well as Wynne’s role within Deerfield’s Arts and Crafts Movement, her remarkably diverse artistic talents, and her innovative and progressive spirit.
