A Show on Modernism, That Embattled Survivor
Developers in the Miami area used Modernist styles to attract tourists and home buyers in the mid-20th century. “The hotels were swank, escapist, over-the-top fantasies, and other building types had clean Bauhaus-inspired lines or tropical features like courtyards and louvered mahogany doors,” said Ruth Grim, acting chief curator at the Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach, where “Promises of Paradise: Staging Midcentury Miami” opens onWednesday. It includes photos, furniture and accessories like a 1947 lamp, left, by George Farkas.
