2) 509: Nature Symbolized
“What we call modern should go smack to nature as a source,” said Arthur Dove, one of many artists from the Americas making bold innovations inspired by nature during the early decades of the 20th century. Applying the formal techniques and stylistic features of European avant-gardes to distinctively homegrown subjects resulted in a fresh approach to modernism in which the natural environment appeared as central yet was often abstracted. Across painting, drawing, photography, and film, artists flattened foliage into pure pattern, conveyed water as styled swirl, and crystalized light into tangible matter. Such experiments in symbolizing nature at times also served to bolster national identity, by binding it to the character of regional landscapes, and to fuel spiritual inquiry, with suggestions of a universal design underlying all natural phenomena.

EXPERIENCE
1) Wellness Retreat In The Catskills
Hemlock Neversink might sound like something straight out of a fairytale, and, well, that’s because it pretty much is (though it’s actually named after a local tree and the area’s reservoir). Located upstate in the stunning Catskill Mountains, about a two hour drive from NYC, this cozy resort is a place to escape reality and frolic within 200+ acres worth of woodsy elegance. It first opened in October of 2023, and it’s already making quite the name for itself. The resort is made up of 34 rooms spread across five cabin-like buildings, ranging from single rooms fit for solo travelers to the grand suite complete with two large private deck patios and even a personal treatment room for private in-room spa services.
