I visited the Reynolda House last December and I developed a Writer’s Block over how to compose a (hopefully) coherent review of this place.

Built on tobacco, the Reynolda House preserves an atmosphere of American luxury.  Going through the rooms, they act as a timeline from beginning to its end as an attraction.  Tiffany and Wedgwood plates dot the main rooms.  This place  also features paintings and sculpture created by American painters and sculptures with the occasional Russian, French, and British artist from the Modern era to the Contemporary.  The Americans consisted mostly of Thomas Cole and his contemporaries.  I did see some recent art by Korean multimedia people.  Imagine, this John James Audubon and Lee Krasner share the same house.  One painting stood out to me the most comes from a Grant Wood painting.   The bright lush green color scheme represents a shocking contrast to his other iconic painting, American Gothic, with its somber and dreary color.
