| The simplicity of Newport
Nouveau belies the extravagance of the home that
would be directly behind the viewer were he or she to stand in the same
spot I did when shooting this photograph. Before you is the view of the
back yard of the Vanderbilt mansion The Breakers
in Newport, Rhode Island. Beyond lies the Atlantic Ocean. Inside the
house almost every room had an Orwellian-sized walk-in marble
fireplace, each one valued today at over one
million dollars! The two master bathrooms not only had hot and cold
running fresh water, but also hot and cold running sea water
as the salt was believed to be beneficial for the skin. Then there was
the dining room that was imported from some French king’s chateau (yes,
the ENTIRE dining room including the walls!), the dining room table
that expanded to seat 64 or some other equally ridiculous amount, and
the room the size of my kitchen that was designed for the sole purpose
of cutting flowers! After such an ostentatious display, this view
provided a welcome respite. |
