THE ARTIST. Acclaimed futurist painter Joseph Stella (1877–1946) emigrated to New York from Italy when he was a young man, where he started medical school before choosing to pursue art instead. He would go on to travel back and forth between Europe and New York, and became a pioneer of Futurism in the United States. While he is best known for his depictions of industrial America, particularly the Brooklyn Bridge and Coney Island, he also felt a kinship with the natural world, and his floral paintings are full of joy and beauty.

THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
